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?
Due to modernization and change in living styles,
people
are buying more packed food
to eat instead
of fresh food
. All these processed items
are rich in calories which are causing a lot of health issues like obesity and cholesterol. So, according to some people
, these items
should be costlier than others to discourage them from buying, however
, I do not agree with this
statement. I shall explain my point of view in the following paragraphs.
Firstly
, Increasing the price of food
items
which have high sugar content is not the best way to avoid people
from using them. This
will only impact the economy and people
will still buy it if they want to have it. Companies
add extra sweeteners to enhance their taste and to increase its sale. So, the government should set a mark about how much sweetener needs to be added and need to do regular check-ups to ensure the quality. For Instance
, In a Beverage company, the government can check regularly to avoid extra sugar in their concentrate. This
way, a person can eat it and will not get suffered from weight gain and other heart issues.
Secondly
, Discouraging people
will ultimately cause a huge loss to the manufacturing sector. Companies
spend a lot of amount on the production of such
food
items
. So, they will face financial loss. Moreover
, these companies
provide employment to many people
and if these companies
will not be able to make a profit by selling items
, then
the employees have to face the consequences. For Example
, Lately, one of the
plants of Pepsico was shut down due to a technical issue and the company fired its workers as they are not able to make money. Change the word
its
Instead
, people
should be couraged to do physical exercise and yoga to remain fit. So, in this
,way individuals can enjoy having packed food
by keeping themselves fit.
To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that health is a major concern, so companies
should limit the usage of sugar in their food
items
and authorities should ensure it. Furthermore
, people
also
have to put effort to remain healthy by doing exercise.Submitted by shikha_dhingra on
