here in the States, if you go to a Supermarket to buy
food you are not charged tax on Food.

But if you buy it in a restaurant you are charged tax
on Food.

Again, it depends upon where you are. There are no state or local sales
taxes in Delaware, for example--on food other anything else. Other
states charge tax on certain items purchased from supermarkets--
sometimes on those items defined as "non-essential goods," which often
leads to grotesquely complicated lists of taxable and nontaxable foods.

for a breakdown on which states tax food.
