Nowadays, consuming of fast foods has reached its peak levels and is playing a vital role in the lives of human beings. Unhealthy food not only causes problems in the lives of people but also is affecting the entire community. Also, there are different opinions on whether the government should or should not tax fast food.
To start with, obesity has become a very important issue all around the world. Many young people suffer from weight and it causes them both mental and physical problems. For example, due to obesity, many students are bullied in schools, making them become introverts and not socialize with people. Also, they lack motivation for sports, which is one of the best ways to create a positive mindset.
One group of people think that the authorities have to put taxes on unhealthy food with the idea that they might stop consuming unhealthy food. Making people spend a little bit more money, can push them to consider eating less junk food. For example, if there would be taxes on fast food, families would stop buying unhealthy food for their kids and for themselves.
On the other hand, there is the group of people who assume that tax on fast foods wouldn’t solve the problem. They believe that it is not obligatory to take an action like this. For example, everyone has it’s right to choose what to eat and one has the privilege to stop it.
In conclusion, I agree with the idea of the second group. Just because I do not like fast food it doesn’t mean that there should be done something to stop people eating fast food.
