Money manufactured food and drink products contain high level of sugars which causes many health problems sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?

It is widely believed that sugary

products

should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less

sugar

. Personally, I can neither completely agree nor disagree with

this

statement for a variety of reasons. I partly agree that sugary

products

should be made more expensive. One of the main reasons can be that increase in sugary

products

price

makes it more difficult for people to buy

sugar

, which they will consider before buying.

This

means that they will replace it with cheaper sweet vegetables. Another reason can be that increasing the

price

of

sugar

will

also

reduce the

price

of sugary foods

such

as cakes and candies, thereby reducing the risk of diseases

such

as diabetes and obesity.

For example

, my friends drink 2 soft drinks a day and most of them are seriously overweight, they look very tired and heavy.

On the other hand

, I disagree with the viewpoint that sugary

products

should be made more expensive.

Firstly

, the increase in

sugar

prices makes sugarcane farmers unable to sell sugarcane.

This

is because the increase in

sugar

prices reduces the consumption of sugary

products

.

Secondly

, Increasing the

price

of sugary

products

will make it difficult for poor children to buy sweets.

For instance

, kids who are given 10000 VND will only get 1 candy

instead

of 2 like before. In conclusion,

although

more expensive sugary

products

will cause some problems, I’m convinced that sugary

products

should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less

sugar

thereby reducing diseases

such

as obesity and diabetes.
