Who would support more tax again? By Derek Lague


     Why should the government have a say on what people want to eat? It's there money not the governments money! This is why we should not put taxes on fatty food. This is because we have the right to eat whatever we want, people should not suffer because other people aren't able to take care of themselves, and lastly, by increasing taxes, fat people will still continue taking some while healthy people will completely stop! As you will read this blog, you will see that increasing fat food is not an option!

     In first place, we are a free country, and so we have the right to eat whatever we wish to eat in life! If you want to get fat, go for it, you will be less attractive, have more health issues and have more mental problems, for example depression. A young researcher once said, ``Everyone should be allowed to choose the way they want to eat.`` I totally approve on his fact. The government should have no say on who you want to be! People eating junk food knows what they are eating and knows it is bad for them but they choose to eat it anyways since it is good but this is what makes them happy! This is like people smoking cigarettes, they know it is bad for them, the community tries to encourage them not to smoke, but these cigarettes makes them happy!


     In second place, people should not suffer because other people aren't able to take care of themselves. As this was mentioned earlier, fat people took the responsibility of becoming fat, but why should people living a healthy life, having a nice little treat once in a while, suffer from this? A man once said, `` If they really wanted to become slimmer, they wouldn't be eating this! So why should we suffer from this?`` This is true, if people didn't want to be fat and wanted to become slim, they wouldn't be eating junk food, they eat it because they like it and don't mind becoming fat! Why should healthy people not be allowed to eat junk food once in a while? I think this is ridiculous! Do the government want healthy people become anorexic?

    Lastly, fat people will still continue eating fat food while healthy people will completely stop, creating anorexia or at most very skinny people! If the government put taxes on junk food, few fat people will stop eating some, as they are addicted to it. But they like it so they'll continue eating them even though the price has increased. Considering healthy people, they will stop completely since it is way too expensive, eat only healthy food and become too skinny or leading to anorexia. Who hear likes man or women as skinny as a q-tip. To me, this isn't very attractive.  Christian Jensen once said, ``If fat people want to bey cake, they'll buy it no matter what!`` What he is trying to tell is that fatty people will buy junk food at whatever price because it is too good! So in this case, only healthy people will be affected and
become way too skinny!


    In conclusion, the government shouldn't put taxes on junk food for the following reasons, people have the right to eat whatever they want to, people should not suffer for individuals who cannot take care of themselves, and lastly fat people will still eat fat food while healthy people will stop. So by increasing taxes, only healthy people will be affected to it, since they won't buy fatty food anymore since it is too expensive, and they'll become way too skinny! So, with all this good imformation, can you now tell me one good reason to put taxes on junk food?
