For those who didn't know....in Germany....most normal things at the grocery store will have a Value-Added-Tax of 19-percent, unless it meets certain conditions (like Milk, Fruit, and Vegetables)....then the VAT is 7-percent.
Well....there's talk now of the Greens wanting to make the 'common-good' foods....to have zero VAT.
Odds of this happening? No one says the pass-fail rate on this idea.
If you were going to ask me how this would save for people? I'd say for a 2-person couple over an entire year....it's probably in the 350-to-450 Euro range. Course, my fear would be that they'd want to put increased taxes on beef....to lessen your consumption.
