Hmmm....

I am actually guessing one of the reasons why the prebate is included is to specifically tackle #2.

I don't like any of those alternatives. Can't we just exempt all food and call it even?

Yes it is.

You mean congress gets to define food, and the more food exempted the higher the tax rate on everything else?

Is caviar food? or maybe those non-nutritional fat producing hamburgers should be classed as a health risk instead of food, or ...

Looks like a great way to create an endless opening for special interest legislation to me.
