A very long and very qualified list of people who think this is a bad idea.

Also, the infamous Jaffa cake lawsuit.

Just one example of working out edge cases costing a fortune.

None of those have anything to do with food exemptions. We have been specifically talking about zero-rating produce. No-one is arguing that we should start zero-rating other things, or that certain jurisdictions have complex tax code.

You, and others, are trying to argue that GST exempt produce will be frought with troubles, but the only example you have provided is that one court case in the UK.
