In recent years, many people are eating unhealthy dishes and do not consume a balanced diet. With the increasing demand and variety of poor food choices, most people are facing with different health issues. In my opinion, government and doctors should support citizens to eat more healthy foods.
Firstly, the government should urge citizens to eat more balanced dishes and reduce the costs of natural products. It is fast food companies that cook most of the junk foods, including hamburgers and pizzas. Most of these dishes are cooked fast and with cheap ingredients that are unhealthy. With the help of government, such as putting high taxes on fast food companies and focusing on the improvement of agriculture, the demand can be significantly reduced. In India, for instance, the government introduced a law for citizens that gives huge rewards for fertile crops. As a result, the country’s agriculture flourished, which has contributed to a reduction of vegetable and meat costs. Residents, several years later, started to cook their national dishes, which are healthy and delicious.
Secondly, doctors play an important role in encouraging people to follow a healthy and balanced diet. Since medical professionals have a strong influence on people’s health decisions, they can advise patients about the negative consequences of consuming excessive amounts of fast food and unhealthy products. Doctors, for example, can explain how unhealthy diet may increase the risk of obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Moreover, hospitals and health centre could provide simple dietary plans and advice to patients,which help them choose healthier choices in their daily lives. People, as a result, would become more aware of the importance of nutrition and may gradually change their eating habits.
In conclusion, although the increasing consumption of unhealthy food is a huge problem, it can be stopped through cooperation between governments and medical professionals. Governments should make healthy food more affordable and manage unhealthy food companies, while doctors should educate people about the consequence of an unbalanced diet.
