“Why not a VAT on food. That way only those who eat will have to pay it.”

Or people would eat less “boutique” foods, and rather eat still-good lower cost foods.

It’s a good idea as it would generate TREMENDOUS REVENUE, although the health food nuts (that pay double for their free range chicken) will be madder than heck at the thought.

Thank you for finding merit in my post. Actually, though, I was being sarcastic. My mention that only those who eat would have to pay shoulod have been a dead giveaway.
