A vice tax on fatty foods makes no sense if (1) you are trying to improve the health of the populace, and (2) you know about the health benefits of ketogenic diets[1]. If those are Denmark's goals, then they should instead be taxing sugary foods. Otherwise, I am forced to conclude that Denmark is either (a) dumb, or (b) purposefully decreasing their citizens' health.

- lupatus 15y agoAwesome!! And, seriously, why the downvotes on the grandparent comment? On a ketogenic diet, I've lost 40 lbs of fat in 18 months, and my wife has lost ~100 lbs during the same time period. Eating fat doesn't make you fat.
