Tax the Fat - Panorama episode

Tonight’s Panorama episode would be ideal for a lesson on how the government can intervene with demerit goods. Will a fat tax successfully reduce the consumption of junk food? I would advise downloading the video off iplayer, allowing you to show it in class for up to 30 days. It should be available to download from tomorrow.

This short video shows an American Major putting the whole city on a diet!

In this snippet, a reporter travels to a chocolate factory in Denmark, the first country in the world to adopt a fat tax.
