| Governments across the globe are undertaking varying methods to be able to deal with resident obesity such as reducing fast food stores but Denmark went to an extreme and is now billing its inhabitants more cash.
The Nordic country has enforced a ‘fat tax’ on foods such as butter, oil and chocolate in an effort to take a stand against unhealthy eating habits.
The newly launched tax will raise the cost of foods like burger, sugar and soft drinks and it is thought to be the first country in the world to tax fatty foods.
The Walled Garden Bistro just uses excellent foods that are stuffed with flavours, so be assured you can eat what you wish at a price you can afford without a fee increase.
The cost rise on small packages will only increase slightly, however when you get to the till it could have a substantial influence on the shopping bill.
The scheme is to aid in increasing the average life span of Danes which is currently below the typical at 79 years-old. Hungary currently has a new tax known as Hamburger Law but it only requires higher taxes on pastries, food flavourings and salty snacks.
Other countries are reportedly considering similar taxes as a possible way to target Europe’s growing obesity crisis. Some experts argue though that it will do nothing to change consumer’s dangerous eating habits. It is claimed 70% of the British population will be obese or overweight by 2050.
