The number of people who are overweight is constantly growing, and the only solution is to increase the prices of unhealthy food and drinks. Do you agree or disagree?

The rising

number

of overweight individuals has become a major problem in society. More and more

people

are consuming unhealthy

food

and beverages

such

as fast foods, processed foods, and even some drinks that have strong alcohol. Some

people

argue that we should increase the prices of the foods that damage our physical health.

However

, I believe that there should be more effective alternatives to solve

this

problem. Adjusting the

food

price is a direct method to reduce the increasing

number

of obese

people

. For the government or companies, it is

also

easy to implement because they will not have higher costs.

Nevertheless

,

this

solution is not perfect and still has a large

number

of drawbacks.

For instance

, it only affects a particular section of society. Those

people

who are from a higher income bracket can easily afford the inflated

food

price and would not stop buying unhealthy products.

In addition

,

this

is a solution for short-term rather than long-term impact because after a

while

there will be public criticism. As time goes on,

critical voices will gradually emerge. From other perspectives, we might have some better solutions to deal with

this

problem. The government could provide a subsidy to help everyone purchase healthy

food

and

in addition

support enterprises connected with green

food

or body health

such

as low subscriptions to fitness centres.

Also

, promoting organic

food

could be an effective strategy

such

as advertising the benefits to the public or organizing some events promoting green

food

and diet. By way of conclusion, increasing the prices of unhealthy

food

might not be the best way to cut down the

number

of obese

people

but there are still a variety of methods to help

people

make better choices.
