11.Many people like to eat unhealthy food even though they know it’s bad for themselves. Why? What effective ways can improve people’s healthy eating habits?

It is claimed that a lot of individuals prefer to eat foods that are harmful to their bodies. The main reason is that the

price

of unhealthy

food

tastes better and is

also

cheaper. Decreasing the

price

of healthy

food

and making advertisements about the effects of

junk

food

can improve the situation. Unhealthy

food

tastes better and has lower prices than healthy

food

.

This

is because they are made of chemicals, oil and salt. These ingredients stimulate

people

’s taste buds more than other types of

food

and make

people

consume more of it.

Also

, the

price

of healthy

food

is more expensive than

junk

food

and not everyone has the financial ability to afford it and they would rather buy cheaper

food

although

it is bad for their body.

For example

, in the United States,

junk

food

,

such

as hamburgers and pizzas is around two dollars,

while

fruits are more than five dollars.

This

situation can be improved by decreasing the

price

of healthy

food

and starting advertising about how harmful are unhealthy

food

to

people

’s bodies. On the one hand, reducing the cost can allow more

people

to afford it, so

people

can eat what they want, with no need to worry about the

price

.

On the other hand

,

people

normally underestimate the hazardous effects of unhealthy

food

, so increasing the number of announcement, let more individuals know about the consequences of eating too much unhealthy

food

.

For instance

, in Singapore, more and more news about the diseases and problems caused by incorrect diets is published, and

as a result

, the number of

people

eating

junk

food

is decreasing slightly. In conclusion, the reason why

people

choose to eat unhealthy

food

although

they know it is bad for their well-being is because of the good taste of these types of

food

and the high

price

of healthy

food

and these circumstances can be solved by reducing the

price

of healthy

food

and announcing the damages that the

junk

food

can cause to individuals body.
