Another important point is that if the reason for taxing fast food is to reduce obesity, it may be effective. It is true that fast food is high in sugar, salt and fat, all of which cause weight gain and are detrimental for our health.

On the other hand, Fast food is about more than just nutrition. Many teenagers spend their money on fast food not because they need to eat out but because this is hoy they socialize. Fast-food restaurants provide a safe, convenient place for young people to meet friends. For another group, low-income families, fast food can provide an inexpensive treat for their children. 

Nowadays, more and more people are affected by health issues such as diabetes and heart disease which are linked to overconsumption of cheap, mass-produced food. Some people believe the only solution is to make fast food less affordable by taxing it highly. 

To conclude, although imposing a higher tax on fast food could have some positive effects, these would be outweighed by the drawbacks. What we really need is greater awareness of diet and cheaper healthy food. 

On the one hand, I do understand the point of view of those who say drastic action is needed. If fast food were taxed and became expensive, people would be forced to seek our healthier options. However, there is likely to be resistance from consumers and producers who want to have a wider choice.
