Food can be used as a singular and a plural . To feed someone is a verb - it is a bit of a trick question as the answer for plural of food is food -

AS FAR AS I KNOW:
Food is uncountable. Like water, food can't be counted. So, should it have a plural? I think, foods can mean different kinds of food< because we can count those types!

Just say "food". It is both singular and plural.

If you are talking generically about food, use "food" no matter how much of it there is. If you are refering generically to many types of food, you can use "foods".
"There was a lot of food on the table. It was representative of foods from around the world."

yes, you can say foods. like...."we eat lots of different foods for variety." or you can say...."have some food." (that can be plural, referring to all components of a meal etc.)

Usually the same, "Food", but there are uses of the word "Foods" as well.
