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

A lot of health diseases are the result of

foods

and beverages that consist of high levels of

sugar

and

therefore

it has been stated that these unhealthy

products

should cost more in order to discourage people from buying them. I personally agree with the given argument and in the following, I am going to explain my view. Putting a higher

price

on sweet

products

increases the cost of people’s shopping lists. In

this

case, individuals will consider limiting the consumption of these

foods

since an extra expense is not a desired result for them and if they want to follow their current diet,they must manage

this

financial situation by excluding other utilities or earning more money to be able to cover these expensive

foods

and drinks.

For example

, I used to eat a cake once a week

however

, I limited my eating habit to once a month after the increase in the

price

of

sugar

. Higher cost for

products

makes companies redesign their strategy to cope with the competitive market. If the final

price

of manufactured

foods

and drinks is higher than their competitors, businesses will consider how to use less

sugar

or replace it with organic sweeteners to decrease the

price

.

Consequently

, the amount of

sugar

,

that is

going to be used as an ingredient, will level down and consumers are going to eat fewer unhealthy

products

.

For example

, a bakery in my hometown uses honey

instead

of

sugar

in its recipes and names its cakes as dietary sweets and people totally love them and buy them. In conclusion, expensive

foods

and drinks which have

sugar

, induce consumers to eat these harmful

products

less and force businesses to apply less

sugar

as their ingredients.
