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 governments to imporse a higher tax on this kind of food. TO what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

In certain nations, the number is burgeoning of individuals who are getting unhealthy due to having an excessive amount of junk foodstuff. While I agree that governments must increase the expense of these types of cuisine, I would argue that only

such

measures are not sufficient to improve individuals' health. Admittedly, compared to the

last

few decades

people

start having more health issues by eating junk. The reasons behind

such

a situation are an excessive amount of calories in

this

type of edible product, a sedentary lifestyle, less time for cooking meals at home, and easy to order from outside.

For instance

, individuals are busy with their sitting jobs where they just work on screens by using their fingers but they are physically inactive.

Moreover

, ordering or getting fast meal items on the counter is more convenient because cooking at home is time-consuming.

This

makes the population more vulnerable to get the potential risks of diseases

such

as obesity, diabetes or more dangerously heart attack.

Although

for reducing

such

risks governments can imply a higher tax on fast snack products, I do not believe that using

such

solutions can improve the situation.

People

who have an addiction to eating fast

food

in abundance cannot easily give up by rising the tax on junk

food

;

therefore

they need proper medical treatment and psychological guidance.

For example

, if health camps can be organised and pictures of obese

people

on fast

food

packaging same as on cigarettes can be presented, it will discourage an individual from having an excessive quantity of fast

food

. In conclusion, having fast

food

in uncontrollable measures makes

people

sick in some countries, I do have a firm belief that with medical help and psychological advice one can change their eating habits and selection of

food

instead

of only imposing high tax rates on these kinds of

food

.
