denmark has decided to discontinue a fat tax that they implemented about a year
ago out what they did is they started charging two dollars and seventy cents
more per kilo uh... of saturated fat
okay so hot that the price of butter one up fatty foods went up uh... but what
they realized was that
more and more people were just crossing the border jeremy to get she fatty food
uh... looked good
that's the problem the front limb is something that people want
something cream idea
you know prohibition
the workout war on drugs than really work out at back twin uh... i was
younger eight interview they had like
he isn't being sick
that you couldn't read
with other countries
why who knows some super old spread so what would happen
massive amount of smoke
and then what they like and i was the trip was really
it up there was a sense of what was wrong with became missouri businessman
in his words now
that doesn't mean you can't have any regulation does it mean
you know that
you can't you see plot laws you know some people a lot of other seatbelts but
it's ok
that the past one exiting through this people on the right direction
so there are some rules that you play with local along the edges obligation to
cody and also happened in denmark and i think it's worth noting is they are all
of these administrative costs within the food industry and it was a huge headache
for that
so i think that they also played a role in convincing uh... you know uh...
danish
politicians to probably get rid of this and they were planning on broadening it
because you know they were just focusing on saturated fats ilsa lund decide
expanded to shelters they were going to show it sounds like well till then
realized that it just doesn't make any sense you know we don't want to do this
um... and so i guess we had a case study indicating that this is an effective way
and also obesity is such a complex issue right there so many different
contributing factors savages blame it on a certain type of food i think doesn't
really make any sense the day only thirteen percent of danes are overweight
of peace and should be specific company five
for america's like the study five percent worldwide database enough
overweight today at thirty five percent of americans are abused
going on
but it's amazing that like the dates like oh my god thirty percent are obese
we got a simple math dot tax immediately with the u_s_ in flight
everyone superb a what should we do mayor bloomberg wants to ban supersize
sodas and everyone panics
