Local officials pushed back this week against a Missouri Senate bill that would end both state and local sales tax on food and grocery items.State Sen. Mary Elizabeth Coleman, an Arnold Republican, said the bill is an attempt to increase affordability for Missourians as prices rise.“Missourians are paying more and more for necessities,” Coleman said. “Most of us agree fundamentally that essential services should not be funded on the backs of the poor.”Coleman said a family of four would save $54 per month with the removal of grocery sales tax.
we still have grocery tax in my state. I think at the least they should not allow tax on fresh foods and I would include bags of beans and grains as fresh.
I didn’t realize there were states where groceries were taxed.

I thought states that taxes groceries were the norm. If this is not true I will be even madder.

Most don’t.
Some states probably really really want to tax your tax if they could.
