Nowadays, it is quite well-known fact that consuming foods and drinks with have high sugar content have detrimental effects on human body. In spite of the fact that numerous people have the belief that imposing a tax on sugary foods and drinks is a best way to decline health problems, I believe it is not a viable solution, so that the government should tackle this problem by taking long-term solutions into consideration, which will be explained below.
To begin with, In the modern world, there is a large segment of people who consume convenient foods with a high amount of sugar and calories due to having limited time for cooking, which means that taxing on sugary products is not a efficient solution to dissuade people from consuming this foods as many people have a hectic life. Furthermore, people will continue prone to eat convenient foods, which resulted in having diseases such as diabetes or obesity. Hence, the government should make a new regulation to increase the wide range of healthy products in the market, which will lead to provide incentive for people to consume foods and drinks that have more nutritional value. Thus, people can not only have easily prepared food but also consume healthy options, such as sugar-free products.
Secondly, the government should provide insentives for individuals to lead a healthy life. For instance, free-facilities, such as gyms ,swimming pools can encourage people to assimilate healthy lifes which, in return, help them to curb consumption unhealthy products. Besides, government should arrange conferences about adverse effects of junk foods and beverages which contain excess sugar. In this way, individuals might easily understand that unhealthy nutritions can have severe consequences for their health. So, they will adapt to eat health products without difficulty.
In conclusion, as you can see above this might be a controversial topic. However, as far as I am concerned, there will be more effective solutions, which be explained above, to decrease the number of people who have health problems due to consumption products with high amount of sugar.
