Some think that governments should tax unhealthy food to encourage people to eat healthier. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
Eating habit has left too much impact on human life. That made many think about a solution. People think that a high rate of tax on junk
food
can be a solution to the issue. I believe forcing a high rate of taxes
cannot change any ones eating habits.
Firstly
, high rates
of taxes
will increase the price of fast food
, which divert to having healthy food
, in solving many health issues. In a country like Australia, the government
charges high rates
of taxes
on sugar base drinks in comparison to other drinks. In addition
, the revised rates
allow any government
to have more income. That can be useful for the development of the country like, new roads and better medical and health services.
On the other hand
, the implementation of high taxes
is going to affect pocket the middle class or the poor class. The increased price of fast food
will make divert them towards cheap and unhealthier food
stores. While
the riches class of society will be unbothered by a hike of food
. In addition
, an increment in street foods will definitely force all food
industries to change the rates
. It will be hard for many food
chains to survive with the hike. As per a survey, recently almost 20% of food
restaurants have winded up their business. This
caused a 1% of downfall in the income of the government
.
In conclusion, implementing taxes
on unhealthy food
will distract many towards nutritious food
and will offer to have extra income for the government
. In most cases hike in convenience food
will affect both the middle and poor classes and force owners to shuts down their businesses. In my opinion, extra taxes
will not make much impact on the lifestyle of many in society.Submitted by jaimini2000 on
