Austalia, the dreamland for sightseeing, is a famous tourist spot for people from around the world for a sweet summer vacation. Talking about the recent stats received by us, around 50% of the tourists visit Australia for its beautiful sights and safaris. European tourists tend to stick to a relaxing itinerary which includes swimming, sunbathing, and staying in camps.

The average length of stay can vary between 7-16 days, with Asians being on the lower end of the margin, one of the reasons could be its tropical climate, while European and American tourists can stay up to 14-16 days since they are already devoid of warm temperatures. The tourists are fairly split between staying at a hotel and or a resort. Owing to their stereotypical hygiene issues, Asians and Americans choose to stay at a hotel, on the other hand, the camps and caravans being near the flora and fauna of the country attract the other half of the tourists who are more inclined towards adventure and experiencing Australia in its raw form.

Do you think if you eat healthy food and stay in bed at all times, try to move as little as possible you would stay fit? No, Right!

In the same way, a person becomes overweight by a series of factors contributing to its effects, rather than just one. While the price might be a determining factor for some, for others it is the crunch of time and lack of ability to cook that leads them to choose unhealthier options. It is always easier to walk into a KFC and just order a bucket of wings (since it is readily available) than to cook by yourself, do the preparation, and then clean the dishes. Our diet is supposed to be a fair mix of proteins, fibers, carbohydrates, and fats. Eliminating anyone can cause serious repercussions leading to an imbalance of hormones and vitamins.

We can classify people here in two sets, to understand the effect of increasing the price of fattening foods. Firstly, the people who choose to go for readily available food options because they don't have time, are the people who are working in corporates, have tight deadlines, and are on a very short break. The increase in price won't affect their choice because for them time is of the essence. Secondly, comes the set who have to go to a fast food chain because they cannot afford the luxury of having or cooking organic & healthy foods. For them, the increase in price will negatively affect their budget hence impacting their ability to feed themselves.

Therefore, I do not stand with the proposition of inflating the price point of fattening foods. Rather, we should look for other options, one of which could be to decrease the membership costs of the gym or to educate people about obesity and train them to take up do-it-at-home exercises. It takes a very long time for our body to break down the fats accumulated by the fattening agents present in our food but we can train our metabolism to work faster by maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If adequately coupled with exercise, being overweight can be avoided and you can still have your favourite food at the same price.
