1.Food tax

"In some countries 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. do you agree or disagree?"
 
In different counries, a large number of people are facing an issue on health which are caused by meals of fast food restaurant. In relation, it is said that the government need to establish a tax in higher rate than other taxes. I support the suggestion and my reasons will be discussed in this essay.
 
The first reason is an effect to change individual’s habit. Fast food is usually cheaper than other meals sold at shops and restaurants, hence consumers tend to like fast food. Especially, those who are into fatty or salty meals can purchase it every day. On the other hands, if there is an additional tax for fast food, fast food fans would reconsider own buying behavior, reducing their health issues. For example, some countires have a sugar tax for growing awareness of a risk from too much sugar. This is a similar prescription in terms of a tax to improve the national’s diet.
 
In addition, the idea is better from the perspective of tax fairness as well. Because,In several countries, while some of tax money is utilized for national health insurance, populace who like consuming fast food could put extra burden to the health insurance fund due to their health problems. It can bring feeling of unfairness to the public. However, provided that the higher tax is applied, it means fast food users would cover the cost which they provoke themselvs. That will be similar structure with an alcohole tax, thus the society ought to be receptive.
 
In conclusion, the reasons mentioned above, I belive that enacting a special tax rate on fast food is useful.
