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 the government to impose a higher tax on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree with this opinion?

The number of

people

who get an ailment by consuming excess fast

food

in some countries is growing. Some

people

believe that the authorities should impose a higher tax on

this

kind of

food

.

However

, I would argue that they should not do that because of the affordable prices and the conveniences that fast

food

brings to our lives.

To begin

with, it is an undeniable fact that fast

food

was born for everyone.

This

is because of its inexpensive prices. In fact, not only adults consume fast

food

but

also

teenagers.

For example

, it is easy to see workers or students decide to go to the fast

food

store

instead

of going to a restaurant,

as a result

of the low prices.

Furthermore

, convenience

food

is a

time

-saving.

This

means that we don’t have to spend many hours on

food

acquisition, preparation, and cleanup. We are living in a hectic world where

people

have to work and study a lot so it’s difficult for them to have spare

time

to cook.

For example

, workers who have to go to work every day from the early morning to late at night may not have

time

to prepare their meals or parents who have to spend

time

taking care of their kids, would select

this

kind of

food

, which can help them to reduce the

time

that they have to spend when they cook. By way of conclusion,

although

there are still some negative sides to convenience foods, the amount of

people

who consume them will not decrease. In my opinion, the government should not impose a higher tax on convenience foods.
