Some countires face with such problems, as people being overweight and poor levels of their health and physical activeness. I believe that unhealthy diet is the main reasons of this problem, and it can be solved by rising the costs of harmful food.
To begin with, it is consumption of unhealthy food that leads to the obesity of population and affects public health. Initially, nowadays a growing number of people eat in restaurants offering fast food containing high levels of fats, sugar and additives, which create good taste that persuades you to eat more of such products, and influence your health negatively at the same time. Moreover, adverstisements of fast food companies attract more customers, and that is how the number of people with unhealthy food habits grows. For example, the USA, which is the country with the highest percentage of overweight people has the largest number of fsat food restaurants.
With regard to the solution of this problem, I believe that such measures as high prices on fast food should be taken by governments. In detail, rising prices of harmful products is not a novel on our days because governments had already risen a cost of cigarettes and alcohol by setting high taxes on them. I think that this approach would help to deal with the growing number of overweight people too, because if fast food cost a lot, less people could afford buying it. For instance, high taxes on fast food in the state of Texas lead to the decrease in the number of obese people in 2015.
In conclusion, the weight of people nowadays is high because of the unhealthy nourishment of population; however, rising the prices of fast food could be an effective solution to this issue.
