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, there is a large amount of

sugar

in food and drinks sold in shops, which leads to a range of health problems.

As a result

, some think that the prices of these products should be lifted up so that

people

will buy less of these things. And I partly agree with

this

opinion. To start with, it is necessary to consume less

sugar

, so some measures should be imposed.

For example

, eating too much

sugar

will probably lead to some illnesses

such

as obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure, and if

people

do not care about their diets, more problems will happen in their physical health.

Hence

, making sugary products more expensive seems to be a method to keep

people

away from these goods because they may reckon that spending more money on buying snacks and drinks is not a great deal.

Consequently

,

this

will contributes to the reduction of individuals' sugary consumption.

On the other hand

, I think there are other effective means for

people

to consume less

sugar

but not just raise the cost of purchasing relevant goods. Compared to

this

method, improving the awareness and habit of healthy eating,

for instance

, is more useful.

This

is wrong that individuals should not take in any

sugar

because it is the main source of energy that

people

need to maintain their physical functioning, so giving products at higher prices is not wise. What the public should do is consume

sugar

plausibly to keep a balanced diet,

instead

of buying it less. In conclusion, I do believe the public should purchase less

sugar

in order to reduce the risk of getting some physical problems, but making the cost more is not enough. That means that more efforts should be taken to help individuals live a healthy life with

sugar

, not without it.
