A new law is being considered that would increase sales tax on junk food and soda. For a school project, Zach's health teacher a
ssigned an argumentative essay about this topic.
Which of the following demonstrates an introductory paragraph that maintains a formal style appropriate for Zach's argumentative essay?
We live in America and should be able to choose what clothes we wear, what car we drive, and what food we eat. I ain't going to pay extra for the food I eat. They can't
do that, can they? We should have freedom to do and eat what we want without having to pay more for It.
America Is a country that offers a lot of free thinking and cholces. As a citizen of this country, I should be allowed to chill when I come home from school and eat my
O favorite foods. I also eat other healthy stuff too, but there are just times when me and my friends want something different. I eat vegetables for snacks too, but a few chips
aren't going to hurt anyone.
America is built up on the foundation of freedom and independence. Just as the Founding Fathers made the country free, each individual person has freedom and choice as
O well. Included in this freedom is the ability to choose what to eat. This cholce should not be motivated by the Imposition of an increase in sales tax. Even though increasing
sales tax on junk food and soda may cause people to eat healthier, it should be the free choice of the consumer what he or she purchases.
I am not sure that increasing sales tax on junk foods would be a good thing. Many people would continue to eat all of the bad things that they eat now, but they will just
o pay more to do it. It is not fair at all to force healthier foods on people by raising prices. Some people are totally fine with the way that they eat, and who are we to make them
change their ways?
