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?
Sugar
is the biggest enemy of the human body. Nowadays, many processed food and drink products
contain extreme sugar
levels, which results in health problems. It is believed that if sugar
products
are made pricey, it will cut access to sugar
for many individuals resulting in less sugar
consumption. I disagree with the notion, however
, both sides along with
reasons will be discussed in the forthcoming paragraphs.
To begin
with, raising the prices
of sugar
will be very beneficial to people
around the world. That to
say, poor Add a missing verb
is to
people
and middle-class people
will have to think twice before buying the products
. This
will definitely reduce the sales and consumption will decline. For instance
, kinder joy is a product for children which was not that costly but with the prices
hiked in the past, it saw a great reduction in its sales. Hence
, increasing prices
means less consumption and it means people
will be free from diseases.
On the other hand
, the other side of the coin is worth noticing and it can't be ignored. The proportion of the middle class and riches is more compared to the poor people
, hence
they won't be affected by the price hikes. In other words
, they will continue to consume sugary products
despite the increase in prices
. Moreover
, there have been real-world scenarios where has seen no change in certain groups of people
with surges in prices
. Thus
, increasing prices
won't stop people
from consuming more sugar
through products
.
In conclusion, although
there will be certain poor people
who will be prevented from buying such
products
, this
will not be the ideal solution as many people
will not be affected at all. Therefore
, other ways should be found along with
this
idea.Submitted by Aryan Patel on
