Sugar is one of the main ingredients of processed food and drinks, because of their preservative quality which causes many health problems. Products made of sugar should be made more expensive to encourage people to consume less sugar I respectfully disagree with the statement for the following reasons.
To start with the main reason, not to increase the price of sugar products is that will be unreachable for the Poor and general people. more specifically, almost every food contains sugar including bread and cake which is the main survival food item for the poor and general people. On condition that the price of the sugar product increases not only the rich food but also the survival food also be out of reach for the poor people. Furthermore, rich people will buy not looking at the price. For instance in our country, a rickshaw puller eats bread two times a day to reduce the cost of their mail.
On the other hand, making sugar products expensive is one of the options for reducing to consumption of sugary products. No doubt it will reduce the consumption of sugar In my perspective, we should do awareness programs and camping to know the disadvantages of sugar products to consume as little as possible rather than increasing the price of sugar products. Besides this, we can increase the price of fancy processed food like energy drinks, pasta, biscuits, and more.
In summary, I think it is not necessary to increase the price of sugary products all we need is information that will lead people to eat less sugary products and live a healthy life.
