Some people believe that it is the responsibility of individuals to take care of their own health and diet. Others however believe that governments should make sure that their citizens have a healthy diet. Discuss both views and give your opinion.

Health is a big topic for everyone in modern society. Some

people

believe that the

government

needs to monitor their citizens' diet as it is a part of their duty.

However

, I believe that

this

issue is entirely an individual's matter, and the

government

can only provide them with healthy options. The main reason why I believe the

government

is not relevant to

this

problem is that each family has their way to live.

For example

,

people

from Africa, Latin America, and Western Europe mainly eat meat and carbohydrate. Even though the

government

has control over food companies, residents will eat what makes them feel comfortable and what they are familiar with unless they choose to make a change in their diet. The

second

reason for

this

is that every person has a right to choose what they want to put into their bodies. In my view, humans should be able to own their free will to make the right decision for their food.

Although

authorities can install equipment for the citizen in the park, and create programs to raise awareness about healthy eating, they can not ensure that

people

eat healthy meals daily. If they did, it will be extremely intrusive and disrespectful to human rights. In conclusion, the

government

can give better options for individuals to take care of their everyday meals and bodies.

Nonetheless

, only

people

themselves can choose what they eat to improve their health as food is culturally related and they have ownership of their physique.
