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, edible
products
contain sugar
in abundance, which has adverse effects on health. For mitigating the consumption of these products
, the price should be increased to motivate people for avoiding these sorts of food items. I personally disagree with this
outlook and approach. Although
, folks should try to avoid sugary products
. In this
essay, other ways for maintaining a healthy lifestyle are mentioned.
To commence with, there are serval ways of uplifting society rather than just imposing them to opt-out of sugary products
. Such
as changing their perspective, creating awareness of eating non-healthy food and last
but not least providing an alternative. That can be artificial and natural sugar
-containing items. For example
, fruit juices contain sugar
in natural forms and have no bad effect on one's health. Other than that, if someone is craving a sweet dish such
as gulab jamun or ice cream he can select a sugar
-free dish in which artificial sugar
is used. Even though, no one should become addicted to it as it can worsen the situation.
Furthermore
, the incrementation in amount will only be beneficial for the manufacturers and will increase the pressure on the normal public's wallet. For instance
, one can of cola is rupees 50 which is quite affordable. On the other hand
, if the price would be raised to 75 or 80 only higher middle-class fellows will be able to buy it. Moreover
, rich people are the ones who usually suffer from diseases related to high-level of sugar
consumption. In despite of that, creating awareness regarding this
situation can be the answer for awakening society and encouraging them to choose health over preference.
By way of conclusion, I strongly advocate that it is not necessary to raise the prices of sugary food items. And all we need is to improve awareness regarding this
