Throughout recent years, there have been accompanying issues with rising obesity rates due to a huge upsurge in the number of high-calorie foods. Many individuals feel that introducing higher payment to unhealthy fattening foods may better address this issue of obesity. It is, in my opinion, an unefficient trend that will have a detrimental influence on the people's lifestyle. I will explain my perspective in the forthcoming paragraphs.
The number of overweight and obese people has doubled since 1980 and accelerated since 200, which means that the epidemic has spread during periods of both low and high food prices. It implies that, Public health companions have no expectation that by adding extra cost to calorific food they will restrain this epidemic explosion of fatness. A good illustration of this phenomenon would be the situation in America where the public authority had doubled the price of hot dog from 4 to 8. However, people willingly bought their flavoursome dish. Due to the fact that in wealth countries consumers possess more money and can therefore consume rast amounts of fast food without seriously diminishing their income.
The idea of adding more taxes on fattening foods will only increase the burdens of poor people in the society. Because food costs are still high and possibly getting more unstable, bad calories are typically less expensive than healthy ones. This is true not onlyfor junk food in the industrialized world but also for less nourishing food substitues found in low-income homes in developing nations that frequently face food emergencies. Thus rising domestic and international food prices along with rising volatility portend the obesity pandemics continued existence. Additionally, Junk food is more widely available in wealthy nations and less nutritious alternatives are more common in low-income homes during food crises because unhealthy calories are frequently less expensive than better options.
In conclusion, the announcement of price hike cannot curb the state of altering from stunting to obesity. Public health companies should not only contemplate the fiscal strategy to tackle this looming problem, but also should consider the behaviour of people and their metabolic development contribute to being overweight or obese.

The last research, parade marked a rise in obesity rates in the world. Some thoughts assume that we could reduce this issue by imposing higher costs on unhealthy food. However, it's not a surefire way and also not fair.
People who reap high remuneration don't care about extra taxes as money doesn't constitute any impediment for them, to illustrate, increasing fatten food few dollars is nothing for them. Consequently, it could influence just low-income people whom money represents an important factor for them, so they will prefer saving some money than buying fast food.
Moreover, applying such solutions will generate financial problems for numerous ventures as well as economic issues, because processed food is not only an important industry it is economic changer. so, huge companies in this sector , for example, KFC, McDonald's,Cookdoor and Pizzahut, will not obey these measures and may take backfire action.
There is always another side to a coin. so for sure increasing prices of processed products such as burgers, pizza,soft drinks and instant pasta, might regulate this phenomenon, because it will minimize the desire for such products, in other words, it can change consumer conduct. also, this extra levy could be used to improve obesity health centres, furthermore conceived advertising campaigns to expand the knowledge about overweight matters.
In conclusion, although levying more charges on fatten foods could manage the issue, it is not the optimal solution. Thus, we should look for other ways , for example, awareness campaigns to cope with this matter.

It is considered that many individuals are becoming overweight in a serious way. Although some people think that increasing the prices of fattening food can be a solution, I partly disagree with this statement as there are other possible solutions for this.
On the one hand, despite the increased cost of unhealthy food, there are other solutions, too. First of all, diet can be a reliable method to help reduce obesity. If they keep an eye on their food diary and stop to eat food which contains oil more than limited. Case in point, scientists pointed out that people struggling with weight should be encouraged to eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains instead of eating fattening foods like fast food that includes more oil and meat. They, as a result, have a chance to lose their weight with the proper way to eat. Moreover, doing regular basic exercises may be another possible solution rather than increasing the cost of food. When they perform various advantageous body exercises before breakfast, exercises give them an opportunity to become less overweight during a particular time. This is why, when they perform activities, especially early in the morning, their bodies stay active and may assist to reduce their weight.
On the other hand, some people point out that the increased price of fattening food is a solution. Though humans who want to not be seriously overweight, want to eat high-calorie food, they might think about the cost of them in supermarkets. Many people are less likely to purchase expensive fattening foods for themselves. Not cheap fattening food might not be purchased by overweight humans as they know about their ingredients. As a consequence, people who do not buy and eat unhealthy food, are more likely to become thin.
In conclusion, while raising the cost of high-calorie food may reduce some consumption, I believe that adopting a balanced diet and regular exercise are more practical solutions to address obesity effectively..

Some argue that making it expensive to buy fattening foods for people can reduce the level of obesity. While increasing the price of high-calorie foods seems to have a positive impact on reducing the level of obesity, I totally disagree with the statement because rich people still can afford it and this method may not be the best as there are some better alternatives.
The idea of raising the cost of high-calorie foods can be unacceptable in some respects. First and foremost, it can be too expensive for only the poor. This implies that if the costs were too high, most poor people would reject buying and prefer buying cheaper and healthier foods that calories are not rich in, whereas the rich still can buy junk foods and become obese. More precisely, many overweight people are rich; so raising the price may not be significant for them as they can purchase even at a high cost. As a result, this idea may not be a solution to this problem.
Secondly, there are a lot of solutions that are more useful to reduce the rate of obesity, one of them being improvements in regulation. In other words, governments can tackle this issue by boosting the taxes for the cafes or restaurants where calorie-dense foods are sold. An increase in taxes can encourage the owners of cafes or restaurants not to sell calorie-dense foods because they may not want to break even or go bankrupt. Moreover, it can have a positive impact on governments’ income from taxes. As a consequence, the rate of selling fattening foods can be diminished as well as the level of obesity.
All things considered, although raising the price of high-calorie foods may help reduce obesity levels, I strongly disagree with this approach because wealthy individuals can still afford these foods, and there are more effective alternatives available to solve the problem.

More and more people are becoming seriously overweight. Some people say that the price increase of fattening foods will solve this problem. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
There is a growing issue in our society of people becoming dangerously overweight. Some people propose that increasing the cost of high-calorie foods can offer a solution to this problem. However, I strongly disagree with this opinion.
Firstly, increasing the price of fattening foods may not necessarily lead to a decrease in consumption. People may continue to purchase these foods, even at a higher price, as they are often more affordable and convenient than healthier alternatives. Furthermore, many people who struggle with weight issues often have underlying psychological or emotional factors that drive them to overeat. For example, an individual with a mental health disorder may turn to food as a coping mechanism, leading to an eating disorder. In cases such as this, simply increasing the price of fattening foods will not address the root cause of their overeating behavior, and they may continue to consume unhealthy food options.
Moreover, increasing the price of fattening foods may disproportionately affect low-income individuals who may already struggle to afford healthier food options. For instance, a low-income family may rely on fast food and other unhealthy, high-calorie options due to the lower cost compared to healthier foods. If the prices of these foods increase, they may no longer be able to afford them. This could lead to a situation where those who are already economically disadvantaged are further marginalized and may even be forced to rely on even cheaper, unhealthier food options.
In conclusion, while it may be tempting to think that increasing the price of fattening foods is a simple solution to the problem of people becoming overweight, it fails to address the root causes of the issue and may disproportionately affect low-income individuals.

Bài dịch:
Có một vấn đề ngày càng tăng trong xã hội của chúng ta là nhiều người trở nên thừa cân một cách nguy hiểm. Một số người đề xuất rằng việc tăng giá thực phẩm có hàm lượng calo cao có thể giải quyết vấn đề này. Tuy nhiên, tôi hoàn toàn không đồng ý với ý kiến này.
Thứ nhất, tăng giá thức ăn béo không hẳn dẫn đến giảm tiêu dùng. Mọi người có thể tiếp tục mua những thực phẩm này, thậm chí với giá cao hơn, vì chúng thường hợp túi tiền và tiện lợi hơn so với những thực phẩm thay thế lành mạnh hơn. Hơn nữa, nhiều người đấu tranh với vấn đề cân nặng thường có các yếu tố tâm lý hoặc cảm xúc tiềm ẩn khiến họ ăn quá nhiều. Ví dụ, một người mắc chứng rối loạn sức khỏe tâm thần có thể coi thức ăn như một cơ chế đối phó, dẫn đến chứng rối loạn ăn uống. Trong những trường hợp như vậy, việc chỉ tăng giá thực phẩm béo sẽ không giải quyết được nguyên nhân gốc rễ của hành vi ăn quá nhiều của họ và họ có thể tiếp tục tiêu thụ những lựa chọn thực phẩm không lành mạnh.
Hơn nữa, việc tăng giá thực phẩm béo có thể ảnh hưởng không tương xứng đến những người có thu nhập thấp, những người có thể đã phải vật lộn để mua các lựa chọn thực phẩm lành mạnh hơn. Ví dụ, một gia đình có thu nhập thấp có thể dựa vào thức ăn nhanh và các lựa chọn giàu calo, không lành mạnh khác do chi phí thấp hơn so với thực phẩm lành mạnh. Nếu giá của những thực phẩm này tăng lên, họ có thể không còn đủ khả năng chi trả. Điều này có thể dẫn đến tình trạng những người vốn đã khó khăn về kinh tế càng bị gạt ra ngoài lề xã hội và thậm chí có thể buộc phải dựa vào các lựa chọn thực phẩm rẻ hơn, không lành mạnh hơn.
Tóm lại, mặc dù có thể hấp dẫn khi nghĩ rằng tăng giá thực phẩm béo là một giải pháp đơn giản cho vấn đề người dân trở nên thừa cân, nhưng nó không giải quyết được nguyên nhân gốc rễ của vấn đề và có thể ảnh hưởng không tương xứng đến những người có thu nhập thấp.
