Nowadays eating fast food is common in all around the world. Because of eating too much fast food the health problems of people are increasing significantly. So people think government should increase tax rate on this kind of food. I argue that if governments impose a higher tax on this kind of food it will impact both positive and negative aspects.
Firstly, positive aspects while governments impose higher tax on fast food, fast food price will increase and people stop eating this kind of food. People will start eating healthy food and they can live healthy life. For example, if before tax the amount of fast food was 30 rupees but after tax it can reach more than 50 rupees. But if healthy food price was less than fast food they will prefer to eat healthy food. It is an example if governments increase the amount of tax in this type of food. This can help to reduce health problems.
Secondly, if governments increase the tax in fast food there are some negative impact on people life. If fast food price increase some people who cannot afford healthy food and who used to eat fast food for to live daily life by eating these kind of food. They will have hard to live their life. For instant, when who live under poverty and used to eat fast food for survive easily but after tax he/she will face difficulty in their surviving life.
Overall, if government increase tax on fast food in order to reduce numerous health problems that will have negative and positive impact in people life. So if government higher tax on these kind of food they need to reduce tax on healthy foods.
