Denmark Introduces ‘Fat Tax’ on Foods High in Saturated Fat

Finally some country has taken steps to control the fat intake a citizen takes.... The tax is the first of its type in the world. http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/health/2011/10/02/denmark-introduces-fat-tax-on-foods-high-in-saturated-fat/ Like they say "people are what they eat". People become fat beacause of their poor food choices and not able to control what they eat. Hope some day in India, these type of taxes are also there. More than tax, there should also be an indication of the fat percentage and the tax attached to the products. Otherwise people might forget it in the long run. Our goverment is a slave of food processing industry. Increase such type of products is like helping the pharma industry to get better and better. Like they take milk, convert into cheese, people turn fat, get diseases, visit doctor and fuel the pharma industry.
