Please help me check my writing task 2. Thanks so much

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?

High-sugar products are considered the major cause of several health issues. While some people argue that increasing the price of these products is the most effective way to reduce the overconsumption of sugar, I am of the opinion that raising awareness of residents towards the negative effects of sugar and promoting a healthy lifestyle should be more efficient in the long run.

On the one hand, proponents believe that making sugary products more expensive is likely to discourage people to consume much sugar. In fact, it is a common practice that processed foods and drinks are often cheap and even provided free in some countries, which makes them the most popular choice among customers. Therefore, increasing the price of those products will make it more difficult to approach and people will have to consider meticulously before deciding whether or not to buy sugar-packed foods and beverages. A good example is that the Vietnamese government has planned to apply higher taxes on sugary products to reduce the severe problems resulting from the overuse of those products, such as obesity and high blood pressure.

On the other hand, I contend that people should be encouraged to pursue a healthy lifestyle and be aware of the detrimental drawbacks of sugar. Thanks to the development of the Internet, especially social media, the residents are able to acquire valuable information about creating a healthy diet as well as maintaining good habits. For example, there is a growing trend among the younger generation to go to the gym and apply a strict diet in order to to be fit and healthy. In the meantime, the government should inform more about the downsides of over-consuming sugar to every corner of society so that people can understand and gradually change their way of eating sugar.

To sum up, overconsumption of sugar will lead to numerous problems and I think that in the long term, it is better to increase the awareness of people about eating too much sugar and encourage them to attain a healthy lifestyle.
