Food tag implications

I just noticed that almost none of the tags in Tag_Group:Food_Tags imply the larger group they're part of -- banana doesn't imply fruit, cake doesn't imply sweets, etc.

For instance, as it's described in the wiki, sweets encompasses all cake and candy, and it seems like a useful place to direct a variety of sweet stuff, since generically sweet things strike me as a likely search. Likewise, currently bubblegum, lollipop, candy_cane, and jelly_beans don't imply candy.

Is this a deliberate omission? If it is, when should the fruit or sweets tags be used?

We did a few of these in the past:

cake (962) -> food (5657)
dessert (96) -> food (5657)
fruit (1500) -> food (5657)
ice_cream (871) -> food (5657)
noodles (87) -> food (5657)
ramen (107) -> food (5657)

apple (716) -> fruit (1500)
watermelon (538) -> fruit (1500)

So I'm not opposed to doing more. But there's... a lot in that list to submit manually. Ergh, I'll try to get to it when I have some time. Whenever that will be.

IMHO, the food tag should be used only on pictures like post #79601, post #459060, or post #521130. That is, when there's a lot of food, or the food is the main focus of the picture. I don't think every picture that has an apple in it needs to be implicated to food. Same deal with the candy implications; post #477965 deserves the candy tag, but should post #496240 be tagged candy just because Mio's chewing gum?

If you look at the images in Candy, though, it's obvious that that's not how it's being used -- people apply it when there is any candy at all in the image.

Well, I assume things like post #537861 get the candy tag because it's just a generic piece of candy rather than something specific like a lollipop or bubblegum.
