Taxing Fast Food

A lot of people love fast food, even if it’s unhealthy. Most of them are always buying fast food for themself and their kids. Fast food is very delicious, and it worth’s that a lot of people having diseases and spend their money for it. Fast food makes the kids, teenagers and adults happy, but happiness cannot buy health. Most of this generation has obesity and heart diseases because of fast food. So, fast food should be taxed by the government for three reasons promote health, decrease diseases, and to help people maintain their healthy lifestyle.

First, promote health is a very important way for having better world. So, I think taxing food will lead to promote health. However, there are people have another perspective about taxing food. They think that people who addicted to fast food will buy fast food, even if it be taxed, and they will not take care of the price. However, I believe that people will start thinking about their money, so they will not buy too much fast food. For example, if someone used to eat fast food every day, he will start eating it once or twice a week. Also, when people start to think about why should they pay that price for something make them having diseases, they will not buy fast food. Second, the second reason is decreasing diseases. Most of people think and believe that anyone exposes to have diseases at any time. So, they think fast food is not a big reason for having diseases. But, I think that when people stopped buying fast food, the amount of diseases will be really decreased. For instance, when fast food becomes expensive, people will not eat fast food. As a result, the amount of obesity and heart diseases decreased, and the hospitals become clearly empty. Third, taxing fast food will help people to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I think that people will start buying healthy food because of the taxing. Also, they will buy for their kids’ vegetables, fruits, and fresh juice instead of happy meal...
