In some countries an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as a result of eating too much fast food. It is therefore necessary for governments to impose a higher tax on kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
It is widely believed that fast
food
results in a rising number of people
having health diseases, and the government should act to address this
problem by imposing a tariff on that kind of food
. From my perspective, I disagree with that opinion for two main reasons discussed below.
The first reason for that is
not only that fast food
causes health problems. Diseases that people
have to suffer from come from a combination of numerous factors. Researchers prove that obesity, a disease that many people
think is led by fast food
, is probably associated with molecular biological signs. For instance
, the abnormal transformation of fat to energy is caused by a gene in the human genome, so the body will accumulate fat and cause obesity. On the other hand
, people
who are keen on eating fast food
but have a good habit of exercising still have a healthy life.
Secondly
, a higher tax will affect the price of food
, which may lead to some social evils. A prime example of that is
that poor people
in developing countries normally have difficulties reaching well-qualified foods like organic food
or supplements. Therefore
, the action of levying a tax on junk food
will create a barrier for the poor to be able to afford food
on a daily basis, which leads to malnutrition. Additionally
, this
problem may result in the rise of social problems like burglary or cheating, because of a lack of food
or money to buy food
.
In conclusion, fast food
seems to be one of the bad factors causing health problems, however
, using a higher tax on them is not a reasonable solution. I personally believe that there are other useful ways to promote people
's awareness towards eating junk food
properly, as well as
other feasible solutions to diminish the use of fast food
rather than taxing
