Food worries (4)

I believe the answer is:

eats

This clue is a double definition.

'food' is the first definition.
(eats is a kind of food)

'worries' is the second definition.
(eating is a kind of worrying)

(Other definitions for eats that I've seen before include "Commonly, they eliminate" , "Scoffs" , "Seat (anag.)" , "Comestibles" , "Gets tucked into the cake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Times and The Telegraph.
