Some people thinks that government should increase tax on unhealthy food to encourage people to start eating healthy. Do you agree or disagree?
In recent years,
people
are increasingly attracted to unhealthy foods due to the appearance, colour and taste of the food
. Some people
believe that governments ought to increase tax on unhealthy food
to reduce the consumption of the food
by people
. I strongly agree with the statement above as I think It is the government's responsibility to make sure people
have a healthy lifestyle.
On the one hand, food
organisations pay a significant amount of money to the government as a tariff. Thus
, It will allow the government to utilise that money, for improving other sectors such
as education , security and the development of the country's infrastructures.Also
, It is greatly beneficial for working professionals. For instance
, People
can order and consume food
easily , when they don't have time to cook food
due to heavy workloads.
On the other hand
, human beings, especially, children are tempted to eat fast food
such
as pizza and burgers. Nowadays, companies are using different marketing strategies to promote their products .For example
, Fast food
industries promote their products through advertising on television with the help of famous people
. Also
, They are providing more discounts on unhealthy foods .Thus
, humans find it more attractive and spend their money on buying unhealthy food
without knowing the consequences. This
could lead to poor diet among the folk. In addition
, most adults suffer from obesity in society, and it is affecting their confidence. As a result
, people
suffer from sickness, heart disease, and poor lifestyles. Thus
It is important for the governments to increase the taxes on unhealthy food
. It will lead to an increase in the price of meals and a decrease in food
consumption.
In conclusion , It is undeniable that we can not stop people
from having fast food
. However
, I personally believe that we can reduce the usage of unhealthy food
in the market by increasing the tariff on the products as It will help people
have a better lifestyle.Submitted by subme216 on
