I completely disagree here.

* If I have some kind of public transport app then most of the time I 
would be interested in some snacks or soft drink / coffee, not so much 
in vegetables or milk.

* If I run a website about BBQ and show a map with grill locations etc. 
I might only want to add vending machines that sell bqq meat.

* If I run some nighlife app I would probably want to display where you 
can get alcohol.

* If I have some kind of farmers market map I probably want to show 
eggs, milk, potatos etc. not snacks, chocolate or ice cream.


Not to mention that I think tagging with semi colons is much more likely 
to results in errors.
And even today without apps I could use overpass and look for 
amenity=vending_machine+food:bbq=yes so it is already usefull for people 
more familiar with OSM.
