Two observations:

    1.	If Georgia taxes food, wouldn't that tax be figured into cost of living,
	hence producing a slightly higher wage to compensate for the added
	taxes?

    2.	If you propose removing the tax on food, where do you propose making
	up the lost revenue?

Remember: there is no such thing as a (tax-) free lunch.
