'heads for vegetarian food' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'heads for vegetarian food' is the wordplay.
'heads' becomes 'loaf' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'vegetarian food' becomes 'nut' (I've seen this before).
'loaf' put after 'nut' is 'NUT LOAF'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for nut loaf that I've seen is " vegetarian dish".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
