Corrections please! Thanks everyone
Junk food has become a phenomenon with a negative impact in society nowadays. The stressful life style that exist in some of the most developed countries all over the world is causing that people spend less time in trying to maintain a balance diet, compared to buying the just eat ready meals or junk food. In order to prevent an increase in poor diet related problems, Institutions pretend to avoid it by raising taxes related to this kind of food. Personally I disagree with this argument, and in this essay I will attempt to explain the reasons.
It is important take into account that this increase in cost, simply, is not fair with the rest of people that occasionally enjoy fast food. It is commonly observed how citizens turn up to this kind of places to celebrate some special occasions. Personally, I celebrated a lot of birthdays in this kind of places and nowadays I am not suffering any fast food related disorders such as high cholesterol or heart related problems.
As a second consideration, if people really want to stop eating a poor diet, it is particularly crucial to be aware of that. From my view, they will not stop consuming junk food due to a high price. In order to address this social welfare problem, Governments and Healtcare system should improve and rise the awareness of society and the positive impact on life of a balanced diet. To illustrate, some capital cities are designing strategies about health and food education in schools by “healthy”competitions and workshops with positives outcomes.
In conclusion, I have mentioned above some major ideas in order to highlight the drawbacks of the measure taken from Governments. I am firmly convinced that if Institutions really want to tackle these issues, it needs to be done from schools, rather than simply increase the taxes.
