Is there anything wrong with using:
"amenity=cafe;fast_food;restaurant"? If not, that approach, plus those
3 definitions from John look pretty good to me (although maybe replace
"muffins" with "cooked snacks", or something). Whack all of that on
the wiki, plus define "amenity=food" for a place serving food that
doesn't meet any of the other definitions, and we should be able to
avoid having this conversation again.
