Although sugary drinks are not the only reason for the obesity problem in the country, they contribute significantly to the said problem. Like sugary drinks, junk food also contributes significantly to obesity in children, adolescents and adults. People make unhealthy choices when it comes to what they eat, which is why they often choose junk food. Obesity, as studies show, is a growing problem. Junk food available in the market is also growing. It's the same with sugary soft drinks. This is why sugary soft drinks need to be taxed so that problems like obesity can be solved.
