So I saw Imogen in concert, and she explained the inspiration for writing this song. She had a guy over once and was going to cook for him, and he made a long list of things he wouldn't eat (wheat, meat, dairy free). So she put a lot of work into making a dinner that was acceptable to his limitations, and afterwards she had a chocolate biscuit and he asked for one and she was like "This has wheat and dairy in it, I thought you didn't eat that?" and he said "Yeah, but it's just one little biscuit." and she was thinking "Well then you could have had one little plate of pasta for dinner tonight...". So I think that the song being about hypocrisy is a very good interpretation.
