A lot of
people

everywhere in the world struggle with their health because they consume too many unhealthy
meals
Use synonyms
. The government believes that maybe it is good to increase the taxes on those unhealthy
meals
Use synonyms
to protect its citizens from their impact. I totally agree with
this
Linking Words
statement and I will try to explain in my essay why I think so.  On the one hand, fast
food
Use synonyms
brings
people
Use synonyms
into a lot of difficult situations with their health ( fat, diabetes, heart disease, etc.).
People
Use synonyms
lose interest in cooking healthy
meals
Use synonyms
themselves. What I mean by that, is by consuming fast
food
Use synonyms
all the time
people
Use synonyms
become fat and get diabetes and heart problems. Because the
products
Use synonyms
are everywhere and the
products
Use synonyms
are cheap, citizens lose interest in cooking a healthy meal themselves.
For instance
Linking Words
, my uncle weighs 200 kilos because he never cooks himself a healthy meal and always is buying fast
food
Use synonyms
because
that is
Linking Words
cheap.
However
Linking Words
, I ask him what would happen if fast
food
Use synonyms
were more expensive, and he answers he would not buy those anymore.
That is
Linking Words
why I believe that through a bigger tax on fast
food
Use synonyms
our society will eventually reconsider buying it and the tax will be a motivation to start cooking .
On the other hand
Linking Words
, through a high tax on fast
food
Use synonyms
, the companies eventually will begin to produce their
products
Use synonyms
with more healthy ingredients.
For example
Linking Words
, a company produces a finished hamburger that will be used by a fast-

restaurant with a lot of chemistry

and cheaper unhealthy ingredients, and it will probably taste terrible.
Thus
Linking Words
, increasing the taxes for those unhealthy
meals
Use synonyms
can persuade companies to create healthier
products
Use synonyms
.  To conclude, I, believe that unhealthy cuisine makes society sick and fat but with higher taxes on those
products
Use synonyms
people
Use synonyms
will stop buying fast
food
Use synonyms
because it would be too expensive, and
this

would encourage companies to create healthier
products

for their customers.
