Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree ?

Nowadays, the very daunting and overconsuming society we live in puts in a crucial and controversial position the question of food consumption. Indeed, since the twentieth century and the enhancement of myriad industrial techniques of

sugar

production, the latter has been an undeniable resource for eating.

However

, subsequent health issues have stricken within

sugar

consuming populations and

thus

, strategies could be settled

such

as increases in prices. I am of the opinion that other strategies should be put forward to inhibit that propensity.

Thus

, it begs the question : Is

this

strategy a good alternative to limit the selling of sugary food ?

This

essay aims to answer

this

question with a supporting rationale.

To begin

with, one reason that may underpin the counter-thesis of that development is that, while the richest will not be significantly impacted by

such

policies, the poorest will certainly undergo their striking effects. Not only it would impoverish people, but

also

will it accentuates gaps between social classes. Owing to

this

, some will have access to more comfort than others and it would

then

be a symbol of an anti-progressive civilization.

Moreover

, even though people could voluntarily avoid any kind of sweet snacks, a plethora of brands has the uncontrollable proclivity of mixing

sugar

with every edible thing.

Hence

, with

such

a plan, their prices would clearly increase and dramatically impact the ones in need.

In addition

, another argument that could put aside

such

reforms would be that other possibilities can be highlighted. As an example, one of them is, that rather than directly impacting consumers, sanctions should be focused on corporations which are the drivers of the emanating problems.

Consequently

, they would balance their use of

sugar

and it would

finally

result in meliorative effects on citizens’ wellness.

Subsequently

, an evolution that has already been applied in some occidental countries is to create some health labels that explicit the

sugar

rates. To conclude, albeit rising taxes seems to be a wise choice at

first

, in order to prune the adverse effects of

sugar

, more equality promoting progress could be elaborated.
