Does food have to be nutritious? Of course not! "There are a number of food flavourings which, while we allow them to be zero-rated as food, have no nutritional content at all."
"To most people, food is something eaten (or drunk) for nourishment or enjoyment" thanks
because it's friday i have been reading my new favourite government document, titled "What Is Food?"
examples include "have you noticed how expensive it is to commute to London from Manchester" and "I haven't seen a person face-to-face in 10 days, mad how unsocial we all are"
love the category of article which is "I made a series of decisions during the pandemic which are now coming back to bite me, this shows how broken Britain is"
Germany too
