THAT SUGAR FILM

 OVERPRODUCTION AND OVERCONSUMPTION OF
SUGAR-BASED PRODUCTS STOPS US FROM
ACHIEVING EUDAIMONIA
• OVERPRODUCTION AND OVERCONSUMPTION
OF SUGAR-BASED GOODS IS REALLY
PREVENTING HUMANS FROM ACHIEVING THE
STATE OF BEING HEALTHY BECAUSE THE SUGAR
ITSELF IS CONSIDERED A POISON THAT WOULD
CAUSE A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF ILLNESSES
THAT ARE REALLY HARMFUL AND EVEN DEADLY
FOR A HUMAN TO CONSUME.
• WHEN COMPANIES OVERPRODUCED THESE IN THE
MARKET, IT GREATLY INCREASES THE AVAILABILITY OF
SUGAR-BASED PRODUCTS WHICH MEANS IT ALSO
ENHANCES THE RISK OF DEVELOPING THESE ILLNESSES
TO INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY BECAME A GREAT FOND OF
CONSUMING THEM INSTEAD OF TAKING THE HEALTHY
ALTERNATIVES. FOR EXAMPLE, MOST OF THE PEOPLE
TODAY RATHER TO BUY FRUIT FLAVORED CANDIES
COMPARED TO THE FRESH FRUITS BECAUSE THE PRICES
OF THEM DOUBLE THE PRICE OF CANDIES AVAILABLE IN
MARKET NOT KNOWING WHAT THESE CANDIES COULD
BRING TO THEIR HEALTH.
• AFTER THEN, WHAT WE THINK IS CHEAPER AND
PREFERABLE PRODUCTS ACT LIKE A MAGNET
THAT ATTRACTS CONSUMERS TO PURCHASE
GOODS THAT IS MORE THAN THEY NEED.THE
EFFORTLESS ACCESSIBILITY OF SUGAR-BASED
FOODS IS THE MAIN REASON WHY OBESITY IS
WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE GLOBE AND MOST
OF THE PEOPLE FACES PROBLEMS WITH THEIR
HEALTH AND BODY AND WHICH TURN TO BE A
TOTAL DESTRUCTION OR HINDRANCE
TOWARDS ACHIEVING EUDAIMONIA.
• AND THEN RIGHT AFTER, WE, DUE TO THE
OVERCONSUMING OF SUGAR BASED GOODS
MIGHT FACE A CERTAIN DISEASE, FOR
EXAMPLE DIABETES. WE ALL KNOW THAT IT
HAS GREAT IMPACT IN THE WAY WE LIVE AND
PROBABLY WILL AFFECT US TO DO THE THINGS
WE WANTED TO DO. PROHIBITION OF DOING
LOT OF STUFFS IN OUR LIVES WILL
EVENTUALLY ARISE JUST TO SAVE OUR HEALTH
AND OUR LIVES. THROUGH THIS, THERE IS A
LARGE INSTANCE THAT WE MAY NOT ACHIEVE
THE REAL ESSENCE OF HAPPINESS.
 SHOULD INDUSTRIES REGULATE THE
PRODUCTION OF SUGAR-BASED PRODUCTS
TO REDUCE THE CONSUMPTION?
• PERSONALLY, I BELIEVE THAT THE HIDDEN SUGAR
USED BY MANY OF COMPANIES AND WHICH WHAT
KILLS MOST OF THE PEOPLE IS WHAT SATISFIES OUR
TASTE BUDS AND WHAT ENCHANTS THE
CONSUMERS. THROUGH REGULATING THE
PRODUCTION OF SUGAR-BASED PRODUCTS WE CAN
REDUCE THE CONSUMPTION AND LESSEN THE RISK
OF DEVELOPING SUCH ILLNESSES.
• I BELIEVE THAT THE COMPANIES PROVIDING THESE PRODUCTS SHOULD
AT LEAST DO SOME ACTIONS TO REGULATE THE PRODUCTION OF
SUGAR. THIS IS IN ORDER TO NOT DECEIVE THE UNAWARE CONSUMERS
AND TO TAKE A VERY LIMITED AMOUNT OF SUGAR ONLY. THEY ALSO
HAVE TO REGULATE ITS PRODUCTION SO WE CAN ALSO REGULATE THE
RISE OF DIFFERENT ILLNESSES. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT NO MATTER
WHAT HAPPENS TO AN INDIVIDUAL IS A MATTER OF CHOICE.
AFTER ALL IT IS US WHO SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE TO THE
FOODS WE TAKE. THESE COMPANIES THOUGH PERSUADE
BUT THEY ARE NOT FORCING ANYBODY TO PATRONIZE THEIR
PRODUCTS. ALL OF US SHOULD BE AWARE WITH WHAT WE EAT
AND WHAT WE BUY. BE A WISE CONSUMER TO LIVE LONGER.
