I wonder how much tax from a Big Mac goes to the NHS. Maybe the government would be better taking VAT off the things that are essential ie clothing, feminine hygiene products (tampons etc.) and fresh food and upping the VAT on convenience food, fast food, cakes, biscuits, fizzy pop etc. The one thing I noticed in New Zealand was that all convenience and high fat foods are way more expensive than the fresh meat, fish, fruit and veg. It cost approximately £6.50 for a cake in their supermarkets that we would pay £3 for over here.  |
You might know the answer to this one Lettie. Is it true that young mums were blending Maccy D meals for their babies to eat or is it just an urban myth?
