Food is a post type that represents eating or drinking particular food or drink. Its content is often similar to a note or can be easily represented as plain text.
Why
Why post food and drink that you consume? Perhaps as a way of tracking your own consumption.
Why post food and drink consumed in public posts? Perhaps as a way of holding yourself publicly accountable to what you eat and drink.
Amy Guy: I post these publicly so when people ask 'what do vegans eat' I can send them a URL.
How
No specific markup has been suggested for this aside from the usual h-entry for posts.

FAQ
Are drinks really food
Q: Are drinks really a kind of food? A subset of food? Or a kind of food?
A: Yes. The presence of phrases such as "liquid diet", and acceptance by at least some that a smoothie, e.g. as prepared by vendors like Jamba Juice, is an acceptable meal, seems to lend credence to considering drinks as a form of food.
