Junk food tax
Topic
A junk food tax, often referred to as a fat tax, is a tax or surcharge placed upon unhealthy foods and beverages to discourage poor dietary habits. Designed as a form of Pigovian taxation, its primary goals are to reduce the consumption of foods high in fat, sugar, and sodium, while offsetting the public health and economic costs associated with obesity.
