This article from Denmark is just one example of many that one can read any day about how government intervenes extensively in our lives. There is no mention in the article about personal freedom. Rather, it’s all about the problems the “fat tax” caused producers. Nowhere in the article will one find that the Danish legislature is concerned about the individual’s freedom to consume the food that he prefers. This tax should have been opposed exclusively on the basis of personal freedom. Patrick Barron
