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?

Nowadays, industrialization has affected even the
food
industry, and instant
food
has become more and more popular. The main ingredient in these products is
sugar
making various foods and drinks. Since
sugar
would lead to lots of diseases, some believe that products should be unaffordable to eliminate
sugar
consumption.
Although
health problems related to
sugar
intake
such
as obesity, diabetes, and hypertension are threatening human health, I partially disagree with the former opinion because of the reasons that I will mention in
this
essay. The group who are in favour of banning

need for energy, its over-intake would cause different problems
such
as obesity, diabetes and other chronic diseases. To illustrate, one bottle of soda contains more than ten spoons of
sugar
. Our body would utilize just one spoon of that carbohydrate and its extra consumed
sugar
might be stored as fat in our body and leads to overweighting.
Consequently
, considering those negative influences, consuming
sugar
should be limited.
On the other hand
, since manufactured
food
is more accessible and
also
affordable, it would be the only
food
that communities specially under-privileges in some parts of the globe consume.
Therefore
, by increasing
food
prices, we would strip groups of people depending on these
food
supplies.
For example
, the price of one soda is almost half of a fresh juice. so, with the financial recession that most people are struggling with, it would be more likely that people choose soda
instead
of fresh juice.
To sum up
, based on the arguments cited above, I tend to partially disagree with the statement, because It would not be a sustainable solution for the issue.
Moreover
, it is the government's responsibility to make the public aware of the negative impact of excessive
sugar
intake by educating them.
In addition
, authorities should make policies to fall the cost of healthy
food
to encourage individuals to purchase fresh healthy vegetables and meat.
