CE: Fatty Foods.

Denmark has imposed a fat tax in attempt to limit the population's intake of fatty foods. The new tax will be on any products that include saturated fats. Such as: butter and milk to pizzas, oils, meats and pre-cooked foods. The reason to why he is putting tax on these types of foods is to try to prevent people from becoming overweight and getting health related issues. I can see why he would want to do something like this. A majority of the people in the world are overweight. There are many ways to prevent the chances of becoming overweight. Do you think this is a good start?

Yes, I do think it is a good idea, but I don’t think it will last very long. I mean, just think about it. The fast food restaurants are so convenient. Even if they did raise the prices, I think people would still be willing to waste their money on these fatty foods to satisfy their cravings. They might cut back a little, but not by a lot. I think the problem of being overweight is both of the fatty restaurants and the person who is consuming the food fault. For starters, they can cut back on the amount of fast food places in an area. Spread them out more, instead of having them in the same area. People will get lazy to drive. As for the person, it is up to them to maintain a healthy diet.

Personally, I try to stay away from fatty foods. I don’t really like to eat greasy foods. I eat it every now and then. When I do eat it, I eat a reasonable amount. I don’t gorge it down my throat. The satisfying sensation that you get in your mouth is what causes people to eat more than what they need to. People need to learn how to eat in moderation.
