Enviably healthy Denmark is leading the way in taxing unhealthy food. Why are they doing it, and will it work? The Danish government's now infamous, since "fat tax" has caused an international uproar. It's praised by public health advocates on the one hand and dismissed on the other as a nanny state whose social engineering has gone violent. I see it as one country's attempt to stave off rising obesity (肥胖症) rates, when other options seem less feasible. But the policies appear confusing. Why Denmark of all places? Why particular foods? Will such taxes really change eating behaviour? And aren't there better ways to halt or reverse rising rates of diet-related chronic (慢性的) diseases? Before getting to these questions, let's look at what Denmark has done. In 2009, its government announced a major tax overhaul aimed at softening the shock of the global economic crisis, promoting renewable energy, protecting the environment, discouraging climate change, and improving health—all while maintaining revenues, of course. The tax reforms make it more expensive to produce products likely to harm the environment and to consume products potentially harmful to health, specifically tobacco, ice cream, chocolate, candy, sugar-sweetened soft drinks, and foods containing lots of fats. Taxes pay for this through policies that maintain a relatively narrow gap between the incomes of the rich and the poor. Because its level of income disparity (差异) is relatively low, the effects of health taxes are less hard on the poor than in many other countries. But the Danes want their health to be better. Life expectancy in Denmark is 79 years, at least two years below that in Japan or Iceland. The stated goal of the tax policies is to increase life expectancy as well as to reduce the burden and cost of illness from diet-related diseases.

It would be difficult to have a society like ours without public goods such as defense, transportation, and other services. A public good is one that a person can use without reducing the use of it for another person. One of the best examples of a pubic good is national defense. One person can benefit from our national defense without reducing another person's benefits. In fact, it is difficult to keep any person in our society from enjoying the benefits of national defense. The market system does not work well in producing public goods. This is because a person who refuses to pay for a public good cannot be kept from using it. Suppose that the neighbors in a high crime area decide to hire a police force. Each neighbor, except Mrs. Smith, agrees to pay $100 a year for it. Mrs. Smith refuses to pay because she knows that if all the others pay the $100, the police will guard the area anyway. So Mrs. Smith can enjoy the services of the police force without paying $100. The market system has no way to deal with this type of problem. For this reason, we cannot ask each person to make a direct payment in the form of product price. Therefore, we collect money for public goods by using taxes.
