Abstract

In rich countries, people's diets are getting worse and they are getting fatter. Hence the increasing popularity of a "fat tax", to make unhealthy food cost more. Since Hungary led the charge in 2011 with a "chip tax" on fatty and sugary foods, other countries have followed. Britain is to join a long list next year.
