Just heard on the radio today that Denmark has introduced a "fat tax" on food ,to try and curb the obesity epidemic,which means "high fat" foods will cost more.
The manufacturers of "low fat" foods must be jumping with joy and they almost certainly had a massive hand in pushing this through the Danish system.
The inferrence here is that "fat makes you fat" when in reality it is SUGAR ,and foods that convert into sugar,that makes you fat.
Poor quality fats and processed vegetable oils are NOT HEALTHY and should carry a health warning but fats from HEALTHY ORGANIC SOURCES are vital to good health.
The problem is that ALL FATS,especially saturated animal fats, are labelled as bad and there is NEVER any mention of the QUALITY of the fat.
So I can only assume that healthy organic butter and red meats and eggs in Denmark will cost more whilst unhealthy low fat,sugar laden,processed cereals and grain products will stay the same price.
In the midst of a recession people will go for cheaper foods and as a result they will get fatter and more unhealthy.
Expect to see the same happening in other countries very soon...the agenda is to demonize fat and convince us all that Mother Nature is wrong and the scientists in white coats are right.
