As the issue of taxes on unhealthy products are discussed in both the lecture and the reading passage. The reading passage puts forward three benefits of higher taxes, however, they are all challenged by the lecture.
First of all, the reading passage holds that the experiences of cigarettes has shown that taxes discourage people from indulging in unhealthy behaviors. In contrast, the lecture claims that it will lead some people to but products that are cheaper or in lower quality, which may contain more harmful material than those better ones. Plus, if people continue to spend their money on expensive unhealthy foods, they will have less money to buy the healthy. So it is unecessary to defeat the addictation.
Second, to argue against the financially fairness raised by reading passage, the lecture proposes that higher taxes contribute to another kind of unfairness between the rich and the poor. Higher price is a greater burden to low earning person than high earning person. Thus this consideration is still be unfair by other means.
Third, contrary to the idea that increasing revenue is helpful to reduce the unhealthy behaviors, the lecture maintains that with so huge amount of revenue like millions of dollars, government will not be forceful enough to adopt radical measure. For instance, the reason why government did not ban smoking in public such as park or street is that they do not want to give up the giant interests. Therefore, the lecture rejects the last claim of the reading through the downside of higher revenue.
