写作|全世界人民的公敌—肥胖

另外特别感谢徐思宁老师

根据一项40年的研究，全球的胖子突破6亿，并且按照这个速度发展，地球很快被“胖子们”侵占了。

于是一些国家纷纷想辙：

日本出台法律女性的腰围不得超过90厘米;美国的胖子平均工资要比正常员工低4.5%;欧盟视胖子为残疾(过分);从2011年起，丹麦开始征收肥胖税;英国每年往国民肥胖设施方面投资超过90亿镑。所以英国现在也哭着喊着要征肥胖税—就是针对导致肥胖的食品收税!

因此，雅思官方来征求一下中国人民的意见。从我来看：无卵用!

首先：胡吃海喝的生活方式是消费者自己不负责任的选择，与食品和餐厅何干?它们是放了点诱人的广告，这就上钩了?(如此薄弱的意志力!更甭谈抵御帅哥的诱惑了)实在忍不住浅尝则止吧!胖不到哪哒!加税对食品，餐厅不公平。

其次：就算食品贵了，胖子们不买了，可他们每天宅在家里抽烟喝酒，打游戏🎮，除了出恭下趟床，连窝都不挪，这也瘦不下来呀!加税没啥用啊

最后：有钱人谁吃快餐呐?据说美国比弗利山庄的富豪们都在吃糠咽菜呢!穷人才吃快餐!加了税，咋活嘛?岂不是更水深火热🔥

In some countries, an increasing number of people are suffering from health problems as a result of eating too much fast food. Therefore it is necessary for governments to impose a higher tax on this kind of food. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Such is excessive consumption of the fast food, that many people are suffering from the healthy problems. Although governments could enact relevant regulations, involving levying a higher tax, to control the purchase of fast food, I would argue that it is not a good policy and cannot solve the health problems fundamentally.

Levy：施加

Naturally, higher tax on fast food industry can reduce the consumption of fast food，because of the more expensive the products, the fewer consumers, Especially given the limited disposal income. In this case, people could reduce calories and high sugar intake, thereby maintaining healthier and balanced diet structure. However, feasible as it seems, some essential factors are neglected.even though these people eliminishing the intake of junk food transform the attitude towards purchasing fast food, there are still other reasons contributing to the health problems. Actually, if they still choose the dissolute lifestyles such as smoking, drunk and stay up late for long-term, then their physical health problems would not be improved. Indeed, improving the tax of fast food to combat the health risks is not the most effective solution.

Dissolute life：颓废的生活

Furthermore, generally, in most nations, the main consumers of fast food come from low-income groups, because governments often subsidize the crops and produce, such as wheat and beef. In fact, fast food is the daily necessities rather than the choices. If governments would impose more tax on this kind of food, then these groups would be far more likely to lead a more harsh life and be sujected to financial burden, owing to unaffordable price, let alone the health.

To sum up, confronting with the health risk given rise to the fast food, I still believe that levying the revenue on fast food industry by government is unreasonable and unfair.‍
