Question :Professor
Today we’re going to discuss whether the government should tax unhealthy products, such as sugary drinks and junk food. On one hand, taxing these products could discourage people from consuming them and reduce health problems. On the other hand, some argue that such taxes unfairly target lower-income families who may rely on these products as affordable sources of food. If you had to choose, would you support or oppose taxing unhealthy products? Why?
Sam
I support the idea of taxing unhealthy products. These products are often high in sugar, salt, and fat, which can lead to serious health problems such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. As you said, by taxing these products, the government can discourage people from consuming them and resolve some of these health issues. Moreover, the revenue generated from such taxes can be used to fund dvertising campaigns that promote healthy eating habits.
Tanya
I believe that such taxes are unfair to families that don’t have a lot of money. Wealthy people will not care about the taxes and their habits won’t change. Additionally, when prices go up, people usually try to save money by purchasing lower-quality products that are cheaper to begin with. If people start buying low-quality food they could suffer even more health problems. There are better solutions to this problem than taxes.
I strongly agree with Sam's idea that the government should allocate tax for unhealthy nutrients. Assigning tax for these products makes them more costly than others and it causes many people to think twice when they want to buy them. Tanya made a relevant point that increasing the prices of these products is unfair to impoverished people, but I want to mention that by doing so, the government can allocate grants-in-aid for these people. accordingly, they can spend that money on consuming high nutritional value items. Furthermore, since the demands for salubrious stuff grows, companies get more motivated to produce healthier products and cease adding ingredients like sugar or high-cholesterol fats to their products. In essence, food taxes are beneficial in controlling the production and usage of unhealthy products.
