In some countries an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as a result of eating too much fast food. It is therefore necessary for government to impose higher taxes on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

It is often argued that heavy

taxes

should be applied to Junk

food

Use synonyms

by the higher authorities because it leads to a surge in the number of health ailments in many parts of the world. I strongly disagree with

this

statement because affluent families will consume it more and the working-

class

will suffer financially.

First

of all, even if the government will imply heavy

taxes

Use synonyms

, rich

class

people

will still have the affordability for having it. Affluent

people

have a high standard of living, merely an application of

taxes

will not stop them from having fast

food

.

In addition

, it will become

food

for only the rich classes, which they will consume with pride.

As a result

, it will lead to more consumption of Junk in the affluent

class

. Taking India as an example, the majority of elite school students consume more fast

food

in comparison to public schools.

Thus

Linking Words

, imposing

taxes

on these items will not hinder their intake.

Secondly

, it will put more financial burden on middle-

class

Use synonyms

people

Use synonyms

. The majority of countries have

employees

which belong to middle-income groups. To sustain their daily needs, they eat fast

food

due to its affordability and time-saving benefits.

However

, if the government will impose heavy

taxes

, it will lead to having financial implications on the

employees

.

As a result

, they will have fewer savings which will affect their family life.

For instance

, in South Korea, most of the

employees

of multinational companies consume burgers and pizza during lunch breaks.

Therefore

Linking Words

, imposing

taxes

Use synonyms

on these items will have serious consequences on the savings of

employees

Use synonyms

. In conclusion, I disagree with the statement that there should be a significant rise in

taxes

Use synonyms

on junk

food

Use synonyms

due to its unhealthy nature because it will lead to more intake of fast foods in affluent

class

Use synonyms

due to their high standard of living and it will affect the budget of middle
