"I hope you'll be comfortable. You'll be wanting supper, I don't doubt. As soon as may be. This way now!"

Butterbur, Bree Innkeeper

At the beginning of your end step, if you don't control a Food, create a Food token. (It's an artifact with "{2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: You gain 3 life.")

The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle-earth

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

Butterbur, Bree Innkeeper's ability checks if you control a Food at the beginning of your end step. If you do, the ability won't trigger.

Do not eat the delicious cards. No, not even for second breakfast.

If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Lembas, an artifact card with the Food subtype, to activate the last ability of Bill the Pony.

If the ability does trigger, but you control a Food when it tries to resolve, the ability will do nothing. No Food will be created.

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.

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 last ability of Bill the Pony.
