Many manufactured food and drinks products contain a high level of sugar, causing health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?

Nowadays public debate has been going on over whether the cost of
products
 that contain high amounts of
sugar
 should be increased to motivate
people
 to consume less
sugar
. Scientists have proved almost a decade ago that
sugar
 is a highly addictive substance. The raised concern is on the right way, but I believe that making
products
 more expensive is the wrong way to deal with society's addiction to sweets and sugary drinks.
Firstly
, I am afraid that raising the prices of sugared food might harm the country's already fragile
economy
. Today's inflation caused food costs to skyrocket and if the government or food-producing companies would decide to raise them a bit more, even for health improvement reasons,
people
 would not be happy and the already struggling
economy
 and small businesses that are the core of
wealthy

 financial state, might not be able to take
this
. Not only
this
 might cause dissatisfaction among the public but a failing
economy
 would raise the number of unemployed and financially unstable citizens.
Furthermore
, speaking of financially unstable and lower-class workers, they tend to buy
products
 that contain cane
sugar
, because they are cheaper than
products
 that incorporate healthier sweeteners. So by increasing the price of the cheaper product government would overburden struggling families.
This
 might lead to
people
 overworking and taking loans from banks, which will discommode lower classes and worsen inflation. To sum up, increasing the price of
products
 with a high level of
sugar
 is the wrong way of encouraging
people
 to live healthier. The surge in food costs not only would have a negative impact on the
economy
 and financial state of society but
also
 would burden and anger
people
 of the lower class.
