Everybody knows that junk food and fatty snacks are unhealthy. Health research has proven that junk food and fatty snacks are harmful to human body. They have negative effects to our health such as obesity, heart attack and low bone strength among other effects. Recently, food processors and restaurants are needed to list nutritional advice in more realistic and conspicuous means but some propose the government to impose a tax on junk food and fatty snacks.Filling your diet with junk food causes an array of problems in your body. Junk food is often high in sugar, fat and calories, while providing very few nutrients. You can treat yourself to some ice cream or your favorite candy bar once in awhile, but keep your portions to a minimum.

The concept was first proposed in early 1942 by a physiologist who argued that individuals should be taxed per pound they were above standard weight. The concept has moved across from entity to groups of specific food, especially which are likely to increase the risk of heart disease and diabetes. Unhealthy food taxation has been in the news over the last half century.Eating snacks is every teenager’s favorite. I also like eating snacks such as potato chips, chocolate and candy. One important thing we should know is that eating snacks is harmful to our bodies. Eating snacks is a bad habit for teenagers. If you eat a lot of snacks, you will become a fat boy or girl.

 

I just think that people who want to eat healthy should be rewarded. Therefore must healthy food be cheaper and junk food and fatty snacks more expensive. A tax on junk food and fatty snacks is a good idea. People go often for cheap food. So if the government makes unhealthy food expensive and healthy food cheaper, more people will choose healthy food. I think that’s a good idea because a lot of people have obesities. Many people who have little money to spend are often eating junk food because that’s cheap. Let’s turn around. Make healthy food cheap so everybody can buy these and also poor people can eat healthy food instead of junk food.
