Fat tax

A fat tax is a tax added to certain kinds of food that are high in fat, sugar, and salt. This tax makes these kinds of food more expensive. The idea is that people will buy less of these kinds of food and more healthy food instead. Having a fat tax helps people make healthier food choices, and makes the food companies produce healthier food choices too.
