I think as an American, "food" should be in quotation marks

A rule of thumb is that if you paid sales tax for it, it's probably not food.
Of course "not food" is mostly fine.

  Not a great rule of thumb as every state and municipality is different in this regard.
  Many places will have different rates for raw food, prepared to go / delivery, and prepared for on-site consumption.

Actually Americans are the first to invent everything, including food.

  Oh so they could hypothetically make food they just choose not to. Makes sense.
