Band 8

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
.
