Sugarcane is the main source for the production of sugar.This crop is grown in many areas of Punjab in Pakistan.Pakistan as a developing country,faces a lots of challenges and also have a ecnomical crises.Tax on items gives a ecnomical help to the Government.As we know that rising a tax on anything may reduce the consumption of that thing but it over burden the peoples who were below the line of poverty.So,I fully disagree on a fact that putting a tax on sugar is a good way to reduce the number of people who were suffering from the health issues.In this essay,I will discuss that why it is not a reliable way to putt tax on sugar decrease the figure of people who were suffering from health issues from intake of sugary items.
“Health is wealth”.This is a very well known saying about the health which almost fimilar by everyone.Intake of sugar in some group of people is higher than the other.According to a survey,about 65% of people use the sugar as an essential part of their diet which is not good for their health.The ratio of diseases are much higher in this group.The main disease which is due to the higher sugar intake is Blood sugar.In Pakistan it is very common and almost 2 person in 5 were suffering from this disease.
Although putting a tax on sugar can may contribute the economy of the country but it is not good enough for the poor people.For example,Tea which is used by everyone and is considered as important drink for every class of people as it gives a wave of relaxation.Sugar in a tea is as important for its good taste.What about them?They were not able to pay the taxes and at the end they were not able to buy the sugar and not able to feel that cheap relaxant.This may reduce their interest towards the Government because it increases the inflation.In Pakistan,About 72% peoples faces a lot of inflation.By increasing a tax the percentage of inflation arises and country faces a alot of crises as it not fullfills the essential needs of the people.
In the end,It is concluded that Rich peoples or Elite class were able to pay the taxes but the poor or middle class families faces a lot of challenges from increasing the taxes .So it is not a right strategy it is important to take the descions which is also in the favor of every person in a country. As, “Precaution is better than cure “.Some one said that from upsurging the tax on sugar is better that no one pays higher for that thing which is dangerous for their health.But due to unawareness in our socities and lack of knowledge it is also remember that sugar is also a need for some people who were suffering from low Blood sugar levels.So,It is imporatant to choose the farier pathways for overcome the health issues.Take steps for the community not for the Government is the main key of development.
