In the modern world, the ever-growing number of people consuming sugar-based beverages, from my perspective, stems from two primary catalysts, namely product advertisements and stimulating chemical substances.To effectively address this tendency, intervention from the authorities acts as the linchpin in mitigating this consumption habits.
The increasing consumption of sweetened drinks is driven partly by the advertising campaign of beverage companies, which mostly target consumers’ emotion. The approach can be illustrated by the utilization of public figures, who have a large number of loyal fanbases, thereby encouraging their fans to purchase advertising products.Not only do celebrities impact fan’s consumption habits, but they also fundamentally affect others.After tasting sugar liquids, people are more likely to try more since they are captivated by the sense of instant gratification provided by stimulating chemical substances.For example, those consuming coke are more likely to be fat although the number of coke drinks that they have to pay before suffering from detrimental individuals’ physical state are large. This is not because they have adequate money to enjoy coke, they are kept with the state of that lingering stimulation.Consequently, those trying sugar-based beverages are prone to try more and more, which further affects their surrounding relationship’s consumption habits.
To fundamentally mitigate this menace, the authorities should impose tax on the sugar-based drinks. By doing this, consumers are more likely to transition to healthy lifestyle as the amount of money spent is costly relative to low minimum salaries that those living in middle-class and working-class are facing. In addition, governments should subsidize alternative beverages, which benefits health while simultaneously enhancing product experience. This is essential because many people would apparently articulate against governmental new policies if they do not gain any advantage.Therefore, to maintain social order, it is more feasible to divert public funding into healthy beverage sectors, thereby systemically increasing public well-being
In conclusion, the proliferation of sweetened drinks stems primarily from beverage companies’s campains and stimulating chemical substances. To structurally tackle this problem, the authorities should impose tax to promote people transition to healthy lifestyle while simultaneously funneling into new healthy beverage sectors to maintain social order.
