taxing junk food

Objective Summary

Some people say that putting a tax on junk food could be a possible cure for obesity. I believe otherwise. I think that we should not put a tax on junk food

junk food tax isn't the solution

• Such taxes affect everyone 
• Unfair to healthy people
• Not guaranteed to reduce caloric intake
• No single food or drink is responsible for weight gain

Junk Food can be a cure for obesity

• Taxes could steer people toward healthy diets
• In studies such taxes had a significant impact on consumer choices
• Growing health gains are expected
