Denmark has introduced a fat-tax in order to fight obesity（肥胖症），heart disease and other serious diseases.The government wants to improve expectation of life and the health of the Danish people.Butter,potato chips,ground beef and pork are among the products that are to be taxed.After one or two years the government plans to see how the tax worked and if it has any effect on people's eating habits.Denmark already has tax on sugar and ice cream.
Although only 10% of the Danish population is overweight,the country's food experts think that fat may account for higher death rates.They also argue that the tax should not be limited to fats alone,because people might switch to other unhealthy foods with sugar and salt in them.Even if Denmark cuts the amount of fat that people consume only by a small part,it will be a signal to other countries that are watching closely,especially the European countries that are planning similar measures.Finland is working on a fat tax,based on the Danish model.Hungary has recently started to tax food that has a high share of salt,sugar and caffeine.
Denmark's fat tax is being opposed by the country's food industry,especially the meat producers.If people do cut more meat out of their diet,it may mean that farmers' earnings will decline.Denmark is one of the world's largest bacon and pork producers.On the other side,the new measure is expected to bring the government about ﹩400 million additional tax dollars a year.
