Simon Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 LOL There's no VAT or other tax on food so by clearing the shelves the government aren't losing anything. But if tobacco was removed just think how much they would lose then. Is it hypocritical, yes damm right it is. Just have to continue buying my tobacco from overseas.

Not quite true, non essential food stuffs (luxury items) have VAT on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M M M M M M M M M M M I believe that leaves Chocolate!!!!!!!! Chocolate is a Vegetable ** Chocolate is derived from cocoa beans. Bean = vegetable. ** Sugar is derived from either sugar cane or sugar BEETS. ** Both of them are plants, in the vegetable category. Thus,chocolate is a vegetable. ** **To go one step further, chocolate candy bars also contain milk, which is dairy.So candy bars are a health food. ** Chocolate-covered raisins, cherries, orange slices and strawberries all count as fruit, so eat as many as you want. ** Remember - - - "STRESSED" spelled backward is "DESSERTS" Send this to four people and you will lose 2 pounds. Send this to everyone you know (or ever knew), and you will lose 10 pounds. (If you delete this message, you will gain 10 pounds immediately.)
