fat tax? Bring it!

Here's an interesting article from a couple of weeks ago: Denmark is imposing a fat tax to try and divert people from eating fatty foods while using the revenue from the tax to fund obesity-fighting initiatives.

I think this is a good idea. I've always thought the government should tax fast-food, highly processed goods and they should highly subsidize fruits and vegetables.

It's also interesting to read the comments on this article.
