Scandinavians stare down fat tax

Sweden is expected to adopt a tax on fatty food after a group of government economists this week said their research confirmed the move would slim people and trim national healthcare costs.

A fat tax is about to take hold in nearby Denmark, and the Norwegian health ministry is in favour.

But a popular Swedish doctor is threatening to fight the fat tax “on health grounds.”
