According to a recent economic survey, experts are urging the government to impose a health tax and stricter regulations on junk food to promote healthy eating habits, particularly among the younger population. With the rising concerns of obesity and related health issues, it's essential to encourage Australians to adopt a balanced diet. Key findings from the survey highlight the need to regulate ultra-processed foods high in fat, salt, and sugar, and to promote healthier food options. By doing so, Australians can reduce the risk of chronic diseases, such as diabetes and heart disease. Healthy eating habits can also boost mental and emotional well-being.
