With the development of economy, people not only focus on the quantity of food, but also the quality of the food. People think highly of the healthy problem of food at the same time. Therefore, an issue ,to encourage healthy eating whether higher taxes should be imposed on soft drinks and junk food, has been put forward recently .In my opinion, I support that higher taxes should be imposed on soft drinks and junk food. I hold the idea that higher taxes should be imposed on soft drinks and junk food. A far as I am concerned, many people spend much money on soft drinks and junk food. They can reduce consumption because of the higher taxes. Eating less soft drinks and junk food also make people more healthy. The most typical example is that more and more people have cancer such as breast cancer and so on. Soft drinks and junk food also cause Hypertension, Cardiovascular disease, especially to old people. As for children and teenagers, eating too much junk food causes teeth to decay and obesity. WangLongDe, the former vice minister of China preventive medical association, had pointed out that eight percentages of Chinese children was overweight during 0-6years old in the city. If this situation is not controlled, it will be harmful for teenagers. However, some people argue that it’s unnecessary to raise the taxes of soft drinks and junk food. It penalises responsible consumers who maybe bear higher taxes. Besides, Should government control eating habits? Some citizens can’t stand the restriction on freedom. What’s more, it takes more money and energy to execute this job. It seems reasonable, but as for me, I’m favor of the government, which has responsibility for our heath. Last but not least, there’s nothing more important than health. From what has been discussed above, I fully agree with the statement that higher taxes should be imposed on soft drinks and junk food. It plays a positive part in changing people’s unbalanced eating habit. It is an effective solution to arouse their realization of healthy diet. No matter how, a healthy country is better for Chinese development. 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/4525dc754afe04a1b171de06.html
