Zusammenfassung
This thesis examines the need for and use of a tax on unhealthy foods, including foods
high in saturated and trans fats, as well as junk foods and soda, in the campaign against
obesity. The thesis first outlines the definition and function of a "fat tax," and then
responds to the main arguments against the tax. Through the combination of several
current proposed taxes, the thesis outlines a tax which is highly effective, fair to low-income
households, and easy to administer.
