Rules for the many powers of.... food?

Perhaps another angle to look at is equipment/advantages/skills/processes that abnormally affect whatever mechanics you are using for creation/consumption of food.

Meditation that lets you skip meals without negative effect?
Maledictions that induce gluttony?
Spells that cause starvation damage?
Chi attacks that numb the taste buds and make everything eaten taste like ashes?
A bioengineered/magical/divine second stomach that lets one digest normally unwholesome food?
Alchemical treatments that alleviate (or induce?) allergies?
Secret recipes that are used to prove membership in a group? (only one of the nuns of the Sacred Order of Missusclaus could produce such a delightful holiday cookie).
Treating Cooking skill as a substitute for or complementary skill to Diplomacy?
Esoteric Medicine/Psychology to let someone gain information about a subject if able to observe the subject's diet?
Quest lines/professions/economies devoted to the acquisition and distribution of special ingredients?
Introduction of the skill Hazardous Materials (Kitchen Waste)?
Diet foods that inflict starvation damage?
Amplification of the 'food as art' idea where (part of?) social status is being seen to consume the very latest fashionable fare?

Hope some of that helps
