More and more people are seriously overweight. Some people suggest the solution to this problem is to increase the price of fattening foods. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

In today’s world, the growing rate of

obesity

and its consequences on individuals’

health

has become an issue of concern to society. It is obvious that governments in several countries are worried about public

health

. As a positive approach, in many countries, authorities have decided to increase the

price

of junk

foods

which in my opinion is a proper way to tackle

this

issue. In the forthcoming paragraphs, we will discuss how

this

approach

besides

other solutions would rescue many lives.

Firstly

,

people

usually decide to eat junk

foods

not only because of their joy but

also

due to their lower

price

. In fact, in many cases, fattening

foods

have a lower

price

because they are made of low-quality materials which are not healthy and make

people

vulnerable to various

diseases

. To explain more, the real victims of

this

phenomenon are the

people

with the average financial situation who don’t desire to pay a high amount of money for food and unfortunately,

this

group constitute the majority of society. As an effective solution, rising the

price

of fattening

foods

would lead

people

to consider their choices and consume

foods

with high-quality ingredients.

For example

, sea

foods

might have more chance to be selected against fast

foods

if they have the same

price

.

Secondly

, there are some other substantial reasons

such

as the consumption of cigarettes and alcoholic drinks that would lead

people

to be overweight.

For instance

, in recent experiments on

people

who suffer from

obesity

and heart

diseases

,

high

amount of alcoholic drinks and cigarette consumption is reported.

Therefore

, the overuse of these products should be seriously controlled by the authorities. To clarify more, either increasing the

price

of these damaging products or prohibition of them might be helpful.

Lastly

, psychological

diseases

such

as anxiety and depression can not be denied as one of the important reasons for

obesity

. Based on scientific facts, eating too much is a protective guard of the body against anxiety which

consequently

results in overweight. As a matter of fact, every day,

people

in society face various problems and obstacles which put them under the pressure of life and lead them to anxiety.

Therefore

, as another effective solution to decrease the rate of

obesity

, it is required that

organisations provide

with proper instruction and treatment about psychological

diseases

as one of the major reasons for

overweight

. In conclusion,

obesity

has become a major problem in many countries. Governments are worried about its serious

health

issues and the devastating consequences.Positively, some steps

such

as increasing the

price

of junk

foods

have been taken

although

, they are not enough and more solutions must be approved

such

as the prohibition of alcoholic drinks and cigarettes.
