Should the US Take a Good Hard Look at Denmark's Fat Tax to Solve Our Obesity Problem?

Denmark is about to impose a tax on food items that are high in fat and sugar. With the growing obesity problem in the US, especially among our children, should we look to impose a similar tax? I think that we should wait to see the effect that it has on Denmark's obesity problem before jumping on board with this tax. Although their problem is no where near the size of ours, finding out how Denmark responds to this tax will give us some incite into how the US would greet such a tax. I think that it is important to note that in the days leading up to this tax, the people of Denmark have begun hording these fat and sugar filled foods. I can just imagine what the pantries in the US would look like prior to imposing such a tax. I propose a wait and see stance on this one.
