Food is an artifact type introduced in Throne of Eldraine.

Description

Cards
Cards with the Food type are:
 * Gingerbrute
 * Golden Egg

Fitting with the theme, these artifacts also have ", undefined, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life."

History
R&D made food tokens because they realized fairy tales were overrun with food references and it would allow them to design a lot of fun cards.

Food tokens returned as a one-off in Commander 2021 (Gyome, Master Chef), and got six new producers in Modern Horizons 2. Food is not currently deciduous, but it could be someday.

Rulings

 * Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures (such as Gingerbrute), it is never a creature type.
 * If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Gingerbrute to activate the last ability of Tempting Witch.
 * You can't sacrifice a Food token to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Food token to activate its own ability and also to activate the ability of Tempting Witch.
 * Some spells that instruct you to create a Food token have targets. You can't cast these spells without choosing all required targets, and if all of those targets become illegal targets, the spell won't resolve and you won't create any Food. If some but not all of those targets become illegal, you'll do as much as possible, including creating Food.
 * Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
