Alternative Fat Taxes to Control Obesity
Original language description
This paper examines three alternative types of ?fat taxes? to determine how effective they may be in reducing obesity. Upon the examination of the available evidence as to the effectiveness of fat taxes in reducing obesity authors conclude, that all types of fat taxes are not sufficiently specific in targeting obesity. In some cases imposition of fat tax may actually lead to reversal of the intended effect. Therefore the use of taxes to reduce obesity and promote healthy outcomes is not recommended.
