Topic: Many manufactured food and drink products contain high levels of sugar, which
causes many health problems. Sugary products should be made more expensive to
encourage people to consume less sugar. Do you agree or disagree?
Writing:
The Food and Beverage industry has been inundated with sugary commodities, resulting
in many health issues. Some individuals suppose that the government should heighten
the price of sugary products to prevent people from consuming them. From my
standpoint, I wholeheartedly agree that this method would effectively lower the sugary
products’ consumption.
First of all, making sugary products more expensive would change customers’ habit of
consuming them. Indeed, sugary products dominate the market nowadays due to the
very cheap ingredient when arriving to consumers. Therefore, when the authorities
raise the prices of sugary products, they would immensely reduce the numbers of this
type of commodities consumption and the accessibility to customers. Consequently,
compelling manufacturers to seek other healthier options for their producing, higher
chance for the altering of customers’ habit.
Secondly, when sugary products’ prices climb to an expensive level, other healthier
options would be suggested for customer’s demand. More specific, the high price of
sugary commodities would plunge the profitability dramatically, a drops in sales will be
unavoidable. As a repercussion, in order to sustain the profits, many manufacturers are
urged to research for better products. Ultimately, the creation of low sugary products
would shift customers’ preference from consuming sugary products.
In conclusion, as the overuse of sugary commodities in F&B industry have brought to
many inevitable repercussions related to human well-being, many specialists assume
that the authorities should increase its price. These high prices would reduce the
accessibility to customers, thus manufacturers would introduce other healthy
alternatives and effectively encouraging consumers to decrease their sugar
consumption.
