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 years, lots of
food
products
have added sugar
at a high level. This
is a highly controversial topic because food
products
with a high level of sugar
are harmful to people
. Therefore
, some experts have a proposal that the price of sugar
should be risen. In this
essay, I will discuss both aspects of this
topic, but personally, I disagree that rising sugar
prices will be helpful to encourage people
to consume fewer sugar
products
.
Producers of sugar
products
tend to increase sugar
prices, which seems a good way to encourage people
to consume less sugar
. However
, one of the biggest issues with the rising price of sugar
is that a lot of food
and drink products
that have ingredients of sugar
will become princely. As a result
, it could lead to much food
with sugar
becoming overpriced. From my knowledge, a suitable example could be that under such
circumstances, a chocolate bar which used to cost
5 dollars will cost
15 dollars or more.
And yet sugar
producer is the one who actually benefits from overpriced sugar
products
. For example
, some people
who are fans of sugar
still will buy sugar
products
. Therefore
, they will cost
more to buy these products
. In addition
, some people
who consume fewer sugar
products
want to buy sugar
products
, so they will cost
more than before. Secondly
, the cost
of sugar
manufacture is the same for producers, but they can earn more profits if producers raise the price.
In conclusion, as can be seen from the points made in this
essay, I strongly oppose this
view, because this
proposal can’t effectively help people
to consume less sugar
actually. To contrast the most beneficial side of sugar
food
and drink manufacturers that might lead people
to spend more money on sugar
products
