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?
The prevalence of high
sugar
content in manufactured food has raised concerns about its deleterious impact on public health. Therefore
, some propose an increase in the prices
of sugary products
as a strategy to encourage to consume

consumption
sugar
. However
, I completely disagree with the prompt as it may not really reduce its consumption
.
To begin
with, the addictive nature of sugar
makes it challenging for people
to reduce and cut down on the consumption
of these products
even when there are higher prices
. According to
research studies, it is difficult to resist the urge to consume sugary products
, because after a long period of consumption
, the brain function has been altered and is accustomed to the reactions generated by carbohydrate consumption
, therefore
, it is constantly begging for a dose of sugar
. Consequently
, people
’s bodies need to satisfy this
craving, even if it means cutting back on other essential expenses. Thus
, a price increase may not be a strong obstacle for those who already rely on sugar
products
.
Moreover
, increasing the price of sugary products
may affect low-income people
. As the diet of people
with limited financial resources is merely based on products
with a high content of sugar
, as prices
rise, people
might struggle to afford healthier alternatives or maintain their current dietary habits. This
can lead to a situation where people
from disadvantaged backgrounds are more likely to continue consuming sugary products
despite their value increase, even generating the need to find sugary alternatives with lower nutritional quality but with affordable prices
, exacerbating and creating more health problems.
In conclusion, increasing the price of sugary products
to address the health concerns related to sugary consumption
may not be the most suitable approach. The addictive nature of sugar
and its potential impact on low-income individuals could limit the effectiveness of such
a measure.Submitted by jennifergamboa254 on
