<p>Interesting side-benefit that I had not previously considered. Of course, even fresh whole foods encounter extensive taxes as they move through the traditional food distribution channel.</p> <p>However, if you buy direct and local from small producers, my guess is they will be under-reporting their income in a big way which would yield significant tax savings.</p>
