problem is raising their price.

However

, it does not make deep sense to me, since I prefer educational and cultural strategies which aim increasing people's awareness. In my opinion, not just an economic approach is sufficient to solve

For example

, more taxes or fines be set to increase social respect toward new boundaries or key regulations.

That is

a way of social control common in some countries and has its merits and demerits. Apart from it would affect public behaviour rapidly and simply. But eventually, we need more sustainable strategies involving public contribution, so, making sugary products at a higher price is not our priority. In the other words, raising public awareness via media affairs or other social activities

such

as holding public workshops in medical centres, universities or schools, can be considered as an alternative way of coping with

this

problem.

For instance

, educational programs produced by the partnership of Health Ministry and public radio and television to clarify the harms of over-consuming sugar. Multi-media content that could be published on the internet or popular social media would be effective as well.

instead

of sugary products.
