雅思A类大作文全球真题:供给健康食品、增税不健康食品 2018-01-20: Canada

Some people think that governments should subsidize health food, while others think that they should tax unhealthy food.

The issue of taxing on food has grown in importance globally. Although taxation on food is a first line of thought, it must not be forgotten that healthy food should be provide cheaper. This essay will discuss both issues using an example from the National Health Service and the UK to demonstrate points and support arguments.

On the one hand, there is ample evidence to suggest that it is the responsibility of government to provide healthy food cheaper to the population. The main reason behind this is that by consuming healthy food, several illnesses may decrease tremendously which are associated with unhygienic food. For example, a recent study conducted by the NHS in Manchester showed that the rate of patient admitted to the hospital decreases significantly compared to previous years. Therefore, it is clear that by making healthy food cheaper has a positive impact on human health.

On the other hand, a substantial group of people think that unhealthy food should be taxed. This is because by taxing heavily on food which are hazardous to human health, it will often discourage people to intake it. For instance, across the UK, after the tax on unhealthy food such as alcohol and tobacco had risen, the number of people consuming it plunged dramatically. Thus, it is evident that increase tax on unhealthy food discourages people to intake it.

In conclusion, although there are different views about whether or not a tax on unhealthy food, personally, I believe that governments should tax those food that are harmful for humans so that the society will have a better quality of life.

The issue of making healthy food available at a lower cost with a support of finance by the government is felt by many people. However, others have an idea to put tax to different types of food that are hazardous to health. In this essay, I will discuss both views and present my own opinion regarding these issues.

Generally, its the responsibility of government to help its citizens in its country in perspect of their health. If government is involved in paying for the fruits and vegetables that are imported or produced within their country, then people find them cheap. This makes them feel the need to consume healthy foods in greater quantities. For instance, people with low economic status can also be benefited.

Furthermore, government should only decide for the price of healthy foods. This means the price for these types food should be uniform all around the country so that everyone gets equal chance of benefit. A good example for this explanation is a system of food card in India. People can buy in a low rate using this card and the price is also uniform.

In contrast to this food subsidizing thought, some other people feel it is the tax that is to be increased in unhealthy foods. If considerable amount of tax is put in unhealthy foods like junk or highly processed food;which most people often find easy and tasty to consume, then they are compelled to buy healthy food instead as they would be available at cheaper rates.

Similarly, tax in unhealthy foods can demotivate the companies that produce these foods and they may feel to produce them in a more healthy way such as they may think of retaining the essential vitamins and proteins in processed foods that rarely contain these components.

In conclusion, many people find subsidizing fruits and vegetables by government as a good way to make them available to more people at affordable rates whilst others propose to increase the rate of unhealthy foods. In my perspective, I would choose the later view as this encourages people to consume healthy food for their healthy life.
