In early October, Denmark officials placed a tax on foods which contain saturated fat. The new tax charges the equivalent of $1.29 per pound on all foods which contain 2.3 percent or more saturated fat.

We should also consider removing the sales tax on organic foods and vitamin supplements to encourage healthier eating habits.
