Some people think that shops should not be allowed to sell food or drinks that are scientifically proven to be bad for people’s health.
Do you agree or disagree?
In today’s society, health problems related to nutrition have been on the rise in many countries. Hence, some people assert that unhealthy foods and drinks are necessary for an interdict. Personally, I partly agree with this notion and think that it is more beneficial for people to keep selling these products except for highly addictive ones.
To begin with, Junk foods and processed foods are considered to be detrimental to people’s welfare. However, these kinds of foods are a key factor that stimulates economic rate in countries. In fact, these convenience foods are ubiquitous everywhere, and many companies have earned a huge revenue from it. Therefore, due to economic benefits, a restriction on unhealthy foods would bring disadvantages to the economic progress of nations. Furthermore, some so-called unhealthy foods are not as dangerous as people image. With adequate consumption, people could guarantee their well-being. Additionally, convenience foods can even satisfy people’s hunger, especially who have a hectic schedule.
Conversely, there are some highly addictive foods that should be outlawed. These products often contain a lot of addictive ingredients, and some of these are chemical preservatives, which potentially cause obesity and other health issues. if people consume these products excessively, they will become foods addictions and find it hard to overcome it. To illustrate, there has been a marked increase in the prevalence of overweight children in many western countries owing to the popularity of fast-foods. In addition, the high percentage of sugar and fat in these foods may leave students and workers lethargic or out of focus.
In conclusion, some unhealthy foods can offer economic advantages to society. Thus, we should keep selling these products. However, some highly addictive foods should be banned because of their harmful ingredients.
