A few days
ago, I read an article which said that Denmark planned to
abolish fat tax. Danes have special tax on fat food like meat or
butter. This tax was introduced a year ago because according to
Danish Authorities, 47% Danes are overweight and 13% are obese.
It´s a big
surprise for me that Danes are so fat. I thought that Danish people
were very focused on sport activities and healthy food.
People here in Denmark are
mostly using bikes for getting to work or for traveling around city.
In the evenings I meet a lot of people jogging on streets. In the
city, there is a big amount of fitness centers full of people. In
groceries you will find a lot of a wholemeal bread and a good quality
vegetables. Is problem somewhere else?
This Danes will not get fat. |
