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.

It is often said that packed foods and beverages often contain significant amounts of

sugar

, thereby leading to numerous health issues for consumers. One school of thought holds that those

products

have to increase their

cost

in order to discourage people to eat less

sugar

. I partially agree with

this

method.

This

essay will discuss more in detail. On one hand, the notion of increasing sugary product costs is somewhat justifiable.

This

is because high costs will make consumers consider carefully before deciding whether they should buy these

products

or allot money to other essential items, namely bread or clothes.

As a result

,

instead

of going with instant

products

, the masses may opt for other sweet fruits, which are not only good for their health but

also

more

cost

-efficient.

On the other hand

, rising product costs may not ensure that people will eat less

sugar

. To be specific, companies can only rise the

cost

of

products

to a certain extent. If they sell irrationally expensive biscuits and candies, they would bankrupt in case of no buyers.

Therefore

, a small change in

cost

may not contribute to a low level of

sugar

consumption. In a nutshell, it is understandable why a host of people subscribe to the idea of increasing the

cost

of sugary

products

,

however

,

this

method can have a minus point as I mentioned above. For the future, my recommendation is that government should come up with other effective measures

such

as raising public awareness about excessively consuming

sugar

.
