Apparently, Denmark has taken the dare…taxing food products and items based on the amount of saturated fat
they contain. Presumably, there is an expectation that individuals will alter their food selections and make healthier choices based on the “tax stick”. Everyone’s favorites are on the hit list…pizza, cheeseburgers, butter, milk, cheese. The tax tab averages around $3 for every 2 pounds of saturated fat
. I wonder if Denmark’s beloved namesake pastry is also on the fat tax hit list. Care for a Danish, anyone?
