Over the years, there has been increased consumption of fast food among the people in the society which leads to chronic ill effects in the health of people. Also, diseases like obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular disease have been increased due to the high consumption of fast food by the people.
Thereby, increasing the tax on this kind of food by the government will lead to imbalance in the global economy because larger food companies are relied on this sector which will lead to the fall in the economy of the society. Moreover, increasing the tax of fast food may also affect the circular economy in the society.
Instead of increasing the taxes people can change for better. Nowadays researchers had focused on the plant-based meet foods and alternatives like bio-based food products. For example, In Asian countries instant noodles are popular among the people but it causes problems like obesity and infertility problems and many other effects on the health of the people. So, food scientists have found alternatives like millets-based noodles which are rich in nutrients and also it has so many health benefits.
However, people like fast food because of their unique taste and varieties of flavors. But it can be compensated by the bio-based foods which gives the exact flavor and taste to the food but the ingredients are millets, wheat and mushroom which are the best alternatives gifted by the mother nature.
To conclude, people can eat nutrient rich food which will lead to better life in terms of their health. Moreover, it will contribute to the circular economy and sustainable environment.
