Note
A plural that only one meaning of food really allows. As a mass noun for what we eat in general, food usually takes no plural: there is plenty of food on the table. The plural belongs to the countable meaning, a particular foodstuff, as in foods high in fiber. The figurative sense, anything that nourishes or sustains, also usually stays singular. So foods counts kinds, not amounts.
