...Parsley Sage: no fat tax on the rösti thankfully!<br /><br />Lizzy: exactly, and it would be almost a crime to switch to margarine!<br /><br />ping: I really doubt it too. People spend more money on alcohol than butter, and rising price of alcohol does not discourage consumption. <br /><br />Foodness Gracious: I think export prices for bacon will not be affected!<br /><br />Angsarap: that would be a big task, lot of protests…<br /><br />Sissi: I don’t know how the baked one compares with the authentic rösti (which I have never tried). But it has less oil! I also wonder whether butter is the cause of obesity. At least the government will collect more taxes and use the money for their Christmas party, consuming lots of meat and Danish pastries of course! The meals in most European restaurants are heavy for sure, starting with English breakfast!<br /><br />Joanne: McD’s already pays taxes and that’s not working and new ones are opening as we speak!<br /><br />Kitchen Belleicious: I think it will be legal to bring small amountsThree-Cookieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01616627712817566828noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-12901431736310587072011-10-05T14:57:33.507+02:002011-10-05T14:57:33.507+02:00Hummm.

Thanks to you I know they can be baked (of course the huge amount of fat they absorb was the main reason I wasn't very keen on trying to prepare them).<br />Taxing fat is weird... Crisps: I'm totally in favour, but fats as you say are good for our health in small amounts. I know someone who quit butter as the doctor told her to start eating butter in small amounts (it contains certain vitamins margarine and oil doesn't). <br />I think our Western populations are so obese not because of the fat, but mainly because of sugar and carbs and also because of the general amount of food people eat. For example finding a nourishing, low-carb snack or dish in European restaurants or shops is totally impossible. I have a friend who was on a low-carb diet and she said only Asian restaurants and shops were the places where she could go for a good meal (of course salads don't count... they make you hungry very quickly).Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-90693672583577132122011-10-05T08:46:05.860+02:002011-10-05T08:46:05.860+02:00I've seen that fat tax yesterday at the news, ...I've seen that fat tax yesterday at the news, imagine implementing that in USAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-16298024309273067552011-10-05T07:35:35.183+02:002011-10-05T07:35:35.183+02:00I'm surprised they didn't tax bacon, some ...I'm surprised they didn't tax bacon, some of the best bacon id Danish!
