Government dictating what you eat will always promote the complete opposite of health and cause even more obesity.

How ironic that the Danes are taxing "fatty" foods like butter and mince when in nearby Sweden there is a high-fat diet craze sweeping the nation: Eat Like A Swede-LCHF (Low-Carb, High-Fat) Join the LCHF movement in Sweden! (http://eatlikeaswede.wordpress.com/) Maybe they could have an international dietary war! ;D

That was my thought, too.
Thanks for the interesting Swede-LCHF website..

You're welcome, it's this kind of government insanity that makes the need to pass food sovereignty laws so we can eat what we choose all the more urgent:

Instead of taxing "fattening" food, they should tax fat people.
