Obesity has become a worldwide epidemic during the last decades, undermining the health and well-being of\u00a0people in developing as well as developed countries. Governments have tried to combat this epidemic spreading through\u00a0fiscal food policies. The aim of the present literature review is to provide a better understanding of the way these policies work\u00a0and are implemented and to explore their effects on consumers\u2019 dietary behaviour and weight status. Literature is ambiguous\u00a0regarding the ability of fiscal food policies to cause long-term changes in consumers\u2019 eating behaviour and consequently\u00a0weight status. In contrast, there seems to be unanimity about the fact that the simultaneous taxing of unhealthy products\u00a0and subsidizing of healthy products provide the greatest positive outcomes on fighting obesity.<\/p>\n
