Band 4.5

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 the government to impose a higher tax on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#countries #people #health #food #government #tax
Many countries' populations are facing bad
health
 conditions nowadays. Since they normally have junk
food
 in their daily lives, Some
people
 think that the
government
 should pass a law to increase the
tax
 on
this
 kind of
food
. Personally speaking, I think the
government
 should find other ways to tackle
this
 problem,
such
 as providing sports facilities and giving dietary knowledge to others.   Definitely, controlling a higher
tax
 on fast
food
 could reduce the number of
people
 who consume junk
food
.
This
 is not a direct way to deal with
this
 problem. It is not an effective way because some
people
 still have enough money to afford whatever they desire, including burgers, fried chicken, French fries, etc. So they do not really care about
tax
 enlargement.   I think the
government
 could provide more fitness
centers
Change the spelling
centres
show examples
 and gyms in different areas.
This
 action will encourage
people
 to do more exercise.
Moreover
, they should cooperate with schools and
health
 organizations to educate their students and citizens about physical activity,
food
 nutrition, and healthy living. So, they can understand the importance of having good
health
, know how to keep themselves strong and consume useful
food
.   In conclusion, some
people
 believe that imposing a higher
tax
 on fast foods could decrease the number of
people
 who consume them, which I disagree with and think that the
government
 should offer more sports facilities and give citizens
health
 knowledge
instead
 of increasing taxes.
