Food vat is ridiculous

[Kimbomc]

I'm just doing my bi monthly wholesale food shop (saves me a good 15-20% and these says spending 300 is easy). What annoys me is that lots of natural healthy food (like pure coconut water) has vat added where as lots of crap (biscuits and crisps) is vat free. Newspapers are vat free as essential, toilet paper has vat as its not essential.

Doesn't seem very fair.

That's bull about packaged coconut water being bad for the environment.

1l of it contains 4 coconuts and it can be packed tightly for transportation vs having to transport 4 green coconuts in a climate controlled environment.
