In the given set of materials, the reading and lecture deal with high taxes on unhealthy foods to debate whether the policy of imposing high taxes on cigarettes and other unhealthy products has a number of social benefits.
The reading passage asserts the idea that the taxes discourage people from indulging in unhealthy behaviors. It can be expected that imposing similar taxes on unhealthy food and beverages would help reduce obesity rates. The professor casts doubt because imposing high taxes to people make people more unhealthy. People will buy low quality product because low quality products are cheaper than high quality products. If government keep continually price of unhealthy product, people keep buying low quality products.
The reading passage claims that taxes of kind are financially fair. Taxing people who engage in unhealthy behaviors creates extra income that can be used to cover the medical costs. In this way, some of the financial burden is shifted from all of society to just those who choose to participate in the unhealthy activities. The professor refutes the idea because there are level of incomes among the people. high taxes will not be burden to people who earn high incomes but people who earn low level income will be burden and it expand the difference between people.
The reading passage points out that the high rate of taxation on cigarettes significantly increase revenue for the government. Thus, the taxes on cigarettes, and the proposed taxes on unhealthy foods, benefit everyone. The professor challenges the idea because government not invest for people who enjoy the unhealthy food or beverage. these people permit the illegal activities to avoid losing their money.
