You should spend about 40 minutes on IELTS writing task 2.

Many people like to eat unhealthy food even though they know it’s bad for them. Why? What are the most effective ways to improve people’s eating habits?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience. You should write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer

The plummeting health indexes of people today due to what they choose to eat has become an extremely usual incident. Today’s generation’s injudicious dietary regime, despite knowing that it is perilous to their health, has added to the subtraction of their good health. In the forthcoming paragraphs, we’ll see the reasons for this behaviour by the people and the remedial measures that may be taken to better their habits.

The principal causes of the unhealthy eating patterns of the present-day generation are their languid lifestyles and the wrong preference of going by the temptations of their taste buds. Today, technology and the fast-paced world have significantly contributed to the deleterious effects of consuming junk food. The touch and click era has made it immensely easier for people to cut down on the hassles of putting in labour to prepare their food. Moreover, the fast-lives and the busy work-life has made it even more likely that the people would avert cooking and prefer ordering their meal, which is very unhealthy for their being. Other than that, the marketing gimmicks with visually appealing food packages, misleading advertisements and celebrity endorsements have completely wrapped a cloth of imbecility and unawareness around the eyes and the wisdom of the people. These causes have made people more prone to surrender their health to the heaps of unhealthy consumables.

Talking about the effectual measures that can be taken to bring about a positive change in people’s mindset and health would be to curb the causes themselves. First and foremost, the prices of junk food should be put on a high end that would make a considerable dent in the pockets of people if they order and consume it frequently. Secondly, the advertisement and media should be diligent and ethical in the advertisements they display as this is the reason to stimulate the cerebral region of human beings, especially the naive ones. Thirdly, the awareness and knowledge about the threats of unhealthy food should be imparted with utmost importance and intensity that should be on par with other potentially hazardous substances such as tobacco and alcohol.

Conclusively, we may say that, though the causes of unhealthy eating habits are many, the situation can be contained with a prudential approach.
