In the recent years, while opponents think that the government should increase the price of sugar, proponents believe that induvial should consume less. I am stauncher believer that people should stop using sugar due its carcinogenic effect.
In the beginning, eating junk food saves time but at the same time it has its drawbacks. In other words, fast food contains numerous amounts of sugar which leads to many diseases, if it consumed in a large amount or for long period. A prime example is Egypt, Egyptians suffer from obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. Thus, not only do high consumption of sugar should be prohibited by the government, but it is also very detrimental for the wellbeing.
In addition, fast food contains many calories which leads to obesity in the long term. To illustrate, unhealthy food providers use a huge amount of sugar to make it tastes better. Prominent examples are KFC, Burger King, Pizzahut and BRGR. According to a study made in 2010, it shows that average person that weights 60kg need approximately 40 minutes of doing exercises such as cardio or swimming to burn an unhealthy meal. What can be said is that food that contains high levels of sugar should undergo high tax to decrease the consumption.
In conclusion, after this essay has shown why consumption of high levels of sugar is bad for the health. I am of the view that government should encourage people to consume less amount of sugar or to prohibit it.
