Rulings
From the Release Notes for Unfinity (October 7, 2022)[1]
- All Food tokens are sacrificed at the same time. All bites of food are taken one at a time. (Can you even take two bites of food at the same time? Isn't that just a larger bite?) You are allowed to swallow between bites. In fact, we encourage it!
- Gum isn't food. Trust us on this one.
From Blogatog (paraphrased) (September 24, 2022)[2]
- To take a bite of food means to take a bite of any size, big or small.
Examples
Example

Sorcery
