Band 7

Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which cause many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?

#food #drink #products #levels #sugar #health #people
There are various opinions on whether sugary
goods
 must be priced higher to lead consumers to eat less
sugar
. In
this
 essay, I will explain both views and explain why making sugary
goods
 more expensive is useless to reduce consumption. On the one hand, some
people
 believe that making sugary
goods
 more expensive leads consumers to eat less
sugar
 because the
price
 is a critical criterion.
For example
, when I was young, I greatly liked to eat chewing jellies which have a lot of
sugar
, but, one day the
price
 doubled suddenly and naturally led me not to purchase them any more.
On the other hand
, I insist that,
although
 the
price
 of sugary
products
 soared, it can not prevent
people
 from consuming
sugar
 because the
price
 of sugary
goods
 is not as high as other
products
such
 as electronic machines and computers and sugary addiction can not be healed by raising the
price
 of
products
.
First,
people
 can not significantly reduce the amount of
sugar
 consumption because it is not extremely expensive. Take candies
for example
, if their
price
 doubled suddenly, it would increase from 1 dollar to 2 dollars,
thus
 its impact is not huge for adults.
Second,
sugar
 lovers may purchase
goods
 including
sugar
 regardless of the
price
.
For instance
, one of my friends is a chocolate jumky and he bought even luxury chocolates which are more expensive than high-quality Chinese food. In conclusion, the selling amount of sugary
products
 can not be controlled because their original
price
 is not highly expensive
people
 can not be afforded and
sugar
-addicted
people
 can not control it regardless of its
price
. In
this
 regard, I strongly believe that making sugary
products
 more expensive can not encourage
people
 to consume less
sugar
.
