In many countries, governments are trying to get citizens to eat more healthily. One way in which governments are trying to do this is by increasing taxes on foods that are unhealthy. For example, Denmark, a country in Europe, taxes products that contain a lot of sugar, such as ice cream and chocolate. In 2011, the Danish government went one step further and introduced a tax on the fats contained in foods like butter and cheese. However, experts do not agree whether such taxes work.
Some health experts have always disagreed with taxing fats. They say we need to consider each food separately and not simply worry about how much fat it contains. For the same reason, Danish dairy farmers felt that the government was wrong to say that the foods they produce are unhealthy.
Cheese, for example, contains a lot of fat, but it does not seem to lead to health problems in the way other kinds of fat do. Such critics believe that the government should instead try to make healthy foods, such as vegetables, cheaper.
There have also been economic problems because of the tax. The Danish government thought that if the cost of fatty foods went up, people would not buy as much of them. However, some foods such as butter and cheese are an important part of the traditional Danish diet. Since these could not be bought in Denmark at reasonable prices, many Danish people began shopping in nearby countries. One study discovered that as many as 48 percent of Danish people were going to Germany or Sweden to do shopping, and the Danish economy lost about $1.8 billion because of this.
For these reasons, the Danish government decided to get rid of the tax after only one year. However, many doctors say that one year is not long enough to know if the tax helped Danish citizens’ health. They claim that the Danish government is worried more about the economy than it is about the Danish people. But even though the tax did not work in Denmark, some countries have not given up on the idea. The United Kingdom and France are thinking of trying similar taxes, and Hungary has already put a tax on fatty foods.
Dairy farmers in Denmark______.
选项
A、felt that they were being made to produce too many products
B、were worried that the government was planning to ban cheese
C、argued that their products are healthier than the government said

答案

事实细节题。根据文章第二段第三、四句“…Danish dairy farmers felt that the government was wrong to say that the foods they produce are unhealthy.Cheese,for example,contains a lot of fat,but it does not seem to lead to health problems in the way other kinds of fat do.”可知,他们认为他们生产的食物并不像政府说的那么不健康。故选C。
