I am trying not to be overly pedantic about this. Are salt and pepper food supplements? One does not consume salt or pepper on their own and they are used to supplement food. Is it an attack on the health food industry to look at it that way? The comments from the Taoiseach seemed to demonstrate a disregard for the efforts of these businesses and the industry in keeping people healthier than they may be otherwise. Is there any indication that a line is drawn somewhere? I am not being flippant about this but where do we stop? Garlic capsules are one product and raw garlic is another. Are they the same?
