This is my entry to the Hive Learners weekly contest.
This topic is really a good one, as it really centers on our health. Health is real wealth and should always be our utmost priority in life. We should always understand that very well and put it at the tip of our minds and hearts. Doing that which is good at the right time also counts for us all. This issue of unhealthy eating in one way or the other is that which we just wrote as an option in another community. Government doing it would really be if great gelp by God's Grace to us all.
As student nutritionists and dietitians in the making, by God's grace, we are really enlightened on these things, and since we are also educated on them, we are also supposed to tell others in one way or another.
There was a course in which we offered last semester NUD 413, the course title being public health and nutrition. In it we still have a topic, which was food environment, and in food environment it was the physical, social, and economic factors that contribute to our food choices. Furthermore, our food choices can be influenced by how, when, and where, for example, you come to an area that consumes only ultra-processed food and yet there is limited access to nutritious foods; we can see ourselves joining. Likewise, in a situation in which we like ultra-processed foods but are still coming to an area where they seem not available, rather than good and nutritious foods, we would still see ourselves joining the good lead.

One way in our subtopic of ways to create a healthy food environment is to tax unhealthy food like fizzy drinks. In this as a point, it really portrays that those foods that are not good for consumption should be taxed greatly. The food, which doesn't add any good nutrients to the body, rather seems to be causing harm rather than adding. Taxing them would help them in stopping or still yet doing that which is very necessary for them to do. Everyone has one business or the other, and no one will want his or her own to be shut down and now not in existence again, so we ought to do that which we really should do and also should do them always very, very well. Good policies should be developed, and companies, especially in food production in the country, should be highly monitored to ensure that they are on the track of doing what they are really supposed to do.
We are what we eat, and healthier eating is always the very best for us all. We shouldn't consume things that are not good, safe, and nutritious to the body; rather, healthier options are the very best.
It would be of great help in creating a healthy environment and also for the well-being of the individuals by God's grace.
We keep hoping for the best.
