I've heard the same things, especially when asking if the food question on the GE kiosk pertains to chocolate.. However, I prefer to be safe than sorry, and always declare and food, and answer the other questions truthfully. I'd hate to end up in the back room with a few good cop/bad cop CBP agents!
