Full Story: Aljazeera

Not so good news for the people who like cheese, butter, milk, meats, pizzas or chocolates, since Denmark has imposed tax on all food items that aid fattening of humans. This will be the first state-owned restriction ever to keep its people in shape and healthy. A tax of 16 Kroner ($2.87) per kg on all saturated fat products has been imposed.The poor lovers of these products thronged markets last week to buy as much fats as possible before the fat tax gets into effect.
