Where you live, maybe.  In New Jersey chocolate is taxed.  But add above a certain amount of flour to that chocolate and it is considered a cookie and therefor not taxed.  Mixed bags of chocolate with flour and without flour have special rules.

 

liuzhou said it better but I was trying to explain why the US Supreme Court is not the Irish High Court so a comparison is not applicable.  Of course state and local laws are different and there are other Federal taxes on some consumables.  Kansas has the same rate of tax on all grocery items as it does on everything else.  A lot of other states have lower or no taxes on  some food or all foods.
