🔶Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugar products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. 🔸Do you agree or disagree?

As a number of processed eatable products

such

as coke or cakes include a huge

of

sugar

, which posters health problems, it is argued that sugary food and drink should be sold at more high

prices

to reduce individuals’

sugar

intake

.

Although

I am fully aware of the dangers of taking

sugar

excessively, I firmly believe that

prices

cannot affect

sugar

consumption, and there is a better way than that.

To begin

with,

prices

and

sugar

intake

are irrelevant. Meanwhile, only a few people are likely to reduce their purchases of products which contain a large

of

sugar

For example

This

proves there is no relevance between

sugar

consumption and its price. On top of that, there are better ways to discourage people from ingesting a large

amount

of

sugar

. One of them is to indicate how much

sugar

consumers take from manufactured food and beverages, which reminds them of the risk of

sugar

intake

.

Furthermore

, if companies put side effects of obsessive

sugar

intake

on the products, it could be beneficial to those who try not to purchase sweetened groceries.

For instance

, some candy companies let their customers know the

sugar

content of their candies and give a warning about overdosing on them, which encourages individuals to spend money wisely. In conclusion, it is obvious that excessive

sugar

ingestion brings about illnesses.

Nevertheless

, informing the

amount

of

sugar

and side effects from it is more persuasive than raising the

prices

of processed food and drinks.
