Yet more proof that the Danish government’s tax on fat is about making money, not being healthy.  According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, only 10% of Danes are obese!

On a recent BBC World Have Your Say program, a Danish politician said that the purpose of a democratic representative government is to “find balance” in imposing social policies on the general public. Say what? I always thought a democratic representative government was supposed to do what the majority of the voting public wants!  Oh well, I’m still waiting for it to happen here in the United States.

Basically the Danish politician was admitting that Denmark is being run by a minority of do gooders that’re pushing their own agenda upon the majority of Danes.

Consider this: There is scientific evidence that it’s a high carbohydrate/sugar diet that actually makes you fat.  Now realize that the majority of Danes eat a high fat diet and only 10% are obese!!!  That’s 5% below the average for all of Europe.

There’s also plenty of evidence that shows skinny people are just as prone to conditions (like diabetes) as fat people.  In fact there’s growing evidence that most poor health conditions, in adults, are more influenced by genetics than what you eat.  Remember the old nursery rhyme about Jack Sprat?  There’s truth in it.
