>> In Birmingham AL, one of the reddest of red states, one pays a 9% food tax.

I'm not sure where you got that idea.

There is a sales tax in Birmingham and food is not exempt. In most places in the US there are sales taxes and food is often exempted but certainly not always and I doubt if it is even mostly exempt.
