I think this is an excellent policy, and a long time coming. This is done overseas with good effect. While I don’t think it’s a magic bullet, it is definitely a step in the right direction.

    Thank you for your valuable contribution to the conversation.

      I felt your unrelated argument deserved an equally flippant reply.

        Do you not understand how a lawsuit over classification of food for tax purposes is relevant to a discussion on tax on food?

          I understand perfectly what you implied, but since you do not argue in good faith I did not feel the need to reply in kind.

          You know full well that the policy as announced by Labour has a simple definition. Processed foods that are changed from their natural form in any way other than freezing are not exempt. Your point about an issue in another country that couldn’t happen here is a non sequitur.

            Why does that specific example need to be able to happen here in order for it to be relevant though? Do you not understand the concept of an example?

              Why does that specific example mean that something equally as ‘bad’ will happen here. Do you not understand the concept of different implementations of policy?

                It doesn’t it’s an example of what could happen

                Genuinely thick, aren’t you?

                  Sure, anything could happen. But that doesn’t mean it will. Are we to give up on any progress if there is any risk of slight problems?

                    There is an absolute certainty this will result in extra admin costs as well.
