Sugary foods and drinks are detrimental to health, so many suggest increasing their price to dissuade many people from purchasing and them. with this opinion. This essay explains the reasons behind my opinion.
To begin with, even if suddenly increases the prices of all sugary products, we will still notice that many people are still buying those products as usual. They will be buying them either because they are just to those sugary products, or a high price does not really curtail their abilities to buy such expensive products. It will, however, negatively affect the prices of the necessary food items, and poor people will suffer to a great extent because it is not only “sugar” that is needed to make sugary products, but rather several other raw materials, such as flour, milk, egg, oil the governments want to increase the price of sugary products, they will not only have to impose a higher tax exclusively on sugar but also on other raw materials.
Another problem with taking such a decision is that some manufacturers of these sugary products would still try to sell them illegally to their existing customers at a lower price, through some or secretly, in order to , because a higher price of their products would almost inevitably push many of their regular customers
A far better solution to this problem would be to make people aware of the consequences of eating and drinking sugary items. When are aware of the issues, they will spontaneously reject sugary items without creating any pressure on the market.
In conclusion, we need to run awareness campaigns to inform people about the negative aspects of eating and drinking sugary items. When they are made aware, it will bring positive results while price hikes on sugary items would make things only worse.
