Healthy food is stuff that is recommended for a good daily nutritional diet. Things like beer and chocolate chip cookies would not be tax-free.

Medicine is whatever you get by prescription. I don't think non-prescrip medicine should be tax-free.

Recommended by whom? I don't disagree with you at all. But as ServesURight pointed out this could lead to a scenario as bad as we've got now.
