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?

In recent times, many processed

food

products

are packed with excess sugar, and

people

prefer to consume sugary

drinks

and

foods

as it is cheaper than fresh

foods

.

Moreover

, processed

foods

may pave the way for myriads of

health

problems

such

as obesity, diabetes mellitus, hormonal imbalance and cardiac problems. So I agree that sugar-enriched

food

products

ought to be sold at high prices than fresh

foods

to reduce the

consumption

of unhealthy

food

and

drinks

. Myriads of

people

buy sugary

products

,

although

it causes a lot of

health

issues. There are certain reasons for

this

trend. The prime reason is that processed

foods

are cheaper in the market. By

this

I mean, sugary snacks and

drinks

are very easy to manufacture with a minimal cost when compared with fresh

foods

. So consumers could get processed

foods

at a low

price

and

this

attracts them to buy sugary

foods

and

drinks

, which leads to

health

issues

such

as diabetes mellitus, cardiac problems, and obesity among

people

. In order to reduce the

consumption

of sugary

foods

and

drinks

, the officialdom has to make some regulations for

this

food

such

as increasing the tax on sugary

products

and increasing the

price

of cargo delivery.

Apart from

this

, if the government increases the

price

of processed

foods

directly that

also

reduces the

consumption

of sugary

food

products

. To cite an example, the Kerala government has increased the taxes and

price

of sugary

products

, in order to lessen dependency on sugary

products

and has decreased the

price

of fresh fruits and vegetables.

As a result

, about half of the population became healthy

due to

this

movement.

In addition

to

this

, another pertinent reason for

this

is the taste of processed

foods

. To explain

further

, some artificial sweetener

products

are used to increase the taste as artificial sweet ingredients are easily available in the market at low prices. If the government

also

increase the

price

of artificial

products

, it

also

helps to reduce the

consumption

of sugary

products

. In conclusion, I believe that increasing the

price

and tax of processed

foods

and ingredients definitely decreases

consumption

and improves

health

among

people

.
