As Frodo ran forward, eager, rejoicing to be free, Shelob with hideous speed came behind and stung him in the neck.

Shelob's Ambush

Target creature gets +1/+2 and gains deathtouch until end of turn. Create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")

The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth

Target creature gets +1/+2 and gains deathtouch until end of turn. Create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.")

Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.

Some spells and abilities that create Food tokens may require targets. If each target chosen is an illegal target as that spell or ability tries to resolve, it won't resolve. You won't create any Food tokens.

Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.

You can't sacrifice a Food to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Food token to activate its own ability and also to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability.
