Snopes is a poor fact checker and should never be relied upon by someone who can use google. Here is a more accurate article that consists of actual reporting:

"True, a Big Mac here costs more — $5.60, compared with $4.80 in the United States. But that is a price Danes are willing to pay. “We Danes accept that a burger is expensive, but we also know that working conditions and wages are decent when we eat that burger,” said Soren Kaj Andersen, a University of Copenhagen professor who specializes in labor issues.”

Bottom line, everything has a cost. Higher wages do need to be paid for with higher prices. Wise people understand that the world has trade offs and they make those trade offs with open eyes. Foolish people pretend there is no tradeoff.
