Denmark has imposed “a fat tax” on foods such as butter and oil as a way to curb unhealthy eating habits.

The Nordic country introduced the tax Saturday, of $2.90 per 2.2 pounds of saturated fat in a product.

…the tax will increase the price of a burger by round 15 cents and raise the price of a small package of butter by around 40 cents.
