Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?
It is believed that snacks and soft drinks produced contain a huge amount of
sugar
, making individuals suffer some health issues. While
I believe that increasing the price of these products
will partly stop people
from consuming more sugar
, I would argue that there are other feasible solutions to help people
intake less sugar
.
On the one hand, it is valid that making sugary products
more expensive will discourage people
from purchasing because of
two reasons. Change preposition
for
Firstly
, as the intake of a significant amount of sugar
into the human body will cause human
heart to beat faster than normal, Add an article
the human
this
is likely to have severe impacts on people
's health. As a consequence
, imposing a high tax on sugary products
can make those products
less appealing to consumers. Secondly
, because snacks or soft drinks such
as caramelised popcorn or Coke are relatively affordable, consumers tend to purchase these as a way to serve their recreational purposes. Therefore
, national leaders should increase higher taxes on those products
.
On the other hand
, a range of viable approaches can be taken to minimise the high intake of sugar
. The first and immediate action is that since youngsters are the main customers of sugary products
, educators such
as teachers should raise students' awareness of how disadvantageous these are, and also
promote the importance of outdoor activities. In this
way, the youth are likely to digest less sugar
products
in general. The second remedy is that since scientists have invented sugar
alternatives such
as sweeteners, increasing the price of sugary products
seems not effective anymore. For example
, Coca-Cola company has introduced Coke Zero or Diet Coke which contains less or zero levels of sugar
.
In conclusion, It is true that the increase in the price of products
containing high levels of sugar
will lead to less consumption. However
, there are the aforementioned solutions that can tackle the issue.Submitted by ledinhan168 on
