Poor nutrition and obesity is a problem in many developed countries and some people believe that a tax on fast food would reduce the problem. Do you agree?

Nowadays, malnutrition and fatness have become an issue in many developed countries and some people assert that a tax on junk

food

would decrease the problem.

Nonetheless

, I strongly disagree with that

due to

reasons which will be discussed in the following paragraph.

To begin

with, the main cause of

this

problem is lifestyle. Because of a busy routine, people tend to have instant meals to save the day.

For example

, an employee who has an express lunchtime

while

still working on some tasks orders a burger that can be served within 5-10 minutes. Regardless of the price, that worker still purchases junk

food

anyway.

Moreover

, fast

food

restaurants are ubiquitous

while

healthy restaurants are pretty rare, especially in communal spaces

such

as malls or

food

courts . Even though a nutritious diet is cheaper than unhealthy

food

, these delicacies are not available to consumers.

Next,

overweightness is not solely caused by chosen meals, but

whole routine in a person's life.

For instance

, a man who occasionally eats instant

food

but still gains weight because of very little of the activities he does every day. In

this

case, higher prices on junk

food

won’t affect his health.

In addition

, the tax idea doesn’t work effectively on alcohol or cigarettes. These things could be reduced in educational approaches like caution banners or healthy

food

advertisements. In conclusion, I believe that the tax won’t resolve the obesity and poor nutrition problem. It comes from daily demands and the availability of fast

food

itself. The solutions should come from the educational technique
