in many parts of the world. Recently, the number of obsessed

crisis. In human history,

was never run rampant like

before. The

problem

Use synonyms

, in the past, it is very hard to find poor

people

who were overweight

in contrast

to the present where most of the obsessed

people

come from low-income households. The main cause of

this

is that most of the time the only

these low-income

people

can afford is either low-quality and low-

price

Use synonyms

fast

or heavily processed

low. By levying the tax on

it will force

options. If the root cause of

the solution is to change the consumer choice. Since

to eat less expressly to those low-income who bearly scrape by even with low-cost fast

. Giving some incentives, like lowering taxes on healthier option products or subsidizing high-quality unprocessed ingredients, to fast

chains and

manufacturers to produce healthier products for the same

people

Use synonyms

being obsessed didn't come from their personal choice but the lack of choices that cause them to resort to fattening

food

Use synonyms

for sustenance. By giving those

people

Use synonyms

a healthier affordable option, it will help them much more in the long term than to just increasing the prices of

junk

which is their only option for

. And

that is
