an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as a result of eating too much fast food.
It is therefore necessary for governments to impose a higher tax on this kind of food.
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this position?
Regarding the issue of that a lot people are overweight caused by eating too much fast food, some people think that government has to put an extra tax on this kind of food.
In my opinion, a higher tax can not stop this kind of issue.
Firstly, fast-foods started their companies offering cheap and unhealthy foods, which means that even with an higher tax, people will afford an hamburger at Mc Donald’s.
Therefore, usually, a person who goes often to these kind of restaurants is wealthy.
I believe that governments has to tackle the obesity issue with another approach.
They must promoting an healthy and balanced life-style, instead focusing on fast-foods.
They are not the real enemy.
The worst thing is a sedentary life-style.
In fact there are plenty of people who don’t like fast food and which are over-weight too .
On the other hand, everyone knows how many calories have an hamburger of Mc Donald’s.
But, in their defense, in the last few years they have increased the quality of food and are trying to change for an healthier solution.
For instance, Mc Donald’s, few months ago, promoted the veggie burger.
Which is an hamburger for vegan people.
In conclusion, fast-foods are still bad for our organism and, most of all, for our weight.
But it is not just their fault if 40% of the population is overweight.
All it needs is to improve our life-style and lower the consume of fat foods.
