To counter the trend, the economists recommended a new Swedish tax on simple baked foods be 114 per cent. A loaf of poor-quality bread at 10 kroner could jump to 21.38 kroner.
Only 114 percent? Why stop there? Keep raising it 'till the poor can't afford to buy bread at all.

No “sitting tax” for computer sales was recommended, although humankind’s sedentary, electronics-age existence was mentioned in the report.
Not yet, but this'll be next.
