Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A fat tax is a tax or surcharge that is placed upon fattening foods, beverages or individuals. As an example of Pigovian taxation, a fat tax aims to discourage unhealthy diets and offset the economic costs of obesity. A fat tax aims to decrease the consumption of foods that are linked to obesity. Numerous studies suggest that as the price of a food increases, consumption of that food decreases. In fact, eating behavior may be more responsive to price increases than to nutritional education. Estimates suggest that a 1 cent per ounce tax on sugar-sweetened beverages may reduce the consumption of those beverages by 25%. However, there is also evidence that obese individuals are less responsive to changes in the price of food than normal-weight individuals.
