Addition of "FOOD" theme

[jak]

There's already a "Cooking" theme, but there are many manga that doesn't revolve around cooking, but the food itself. Would it be possible to get it added?

@jak Do you have an example of such manga?

I forgot the titles... but there's one story about an alien girl who starts eating human foods instead of photosynthesising. Then there's another one where the guy loves looking at the way the girl eats all the time.

Food is so often the focus of attention in manga that having “food” as a theme might be rather like having “Japan” as a theme. At the least, there would be many manga on each side of whatever threshold might be chosen to separate those in which food were considered to be a theme and those in which it were not, unless that threshold were set very low or very high.

https://mangadex.org/title/36466/foagura-to-gyuudon - About a couple who tries different foods.

https://mangadex.org/title/20716/kumika-no-mikaku - This has cooking, but is also more about just food in general.

https://mangadex.org/title/32036/kodoku-no-gourmet - About a guy who just loves food.

Do I need to produce more? Even a lot of these cooking ones will center around food in general as well so I think a Food option for themes would be a good addition.

@jak More would be better. If three are enough to start a new genre/theme, then I would want to request themes like Anthropomorphization or Cute-girls-doing-cute-things, as well.

Most of these are about love of food rather than cooking the food.

https://mangadex.org/title/19420/hime-no-dameshi - While this one is about cooking, it's also about her love of eating food as well.

There are also many cooking manga that could use the theme as well because they are just as much about the love of food as it is the cooking of it.

At least, I don't really think it'd make sense to add a Food tag and keep Cooking. 100% of the Cooking manga would also get Food, so that's pointless. I'm not completely sure changing Cooking to Food or something similar would necessarily be a good idea either, but maybe it is.

Admittedly it is a bit weird that manga like https://mangadex.org/title/21428/osake-wa-fuufu-ni-natte-kara gets the Cooking tag when it's about mixing drinks.

Gourmet??

@Teasday

I don't think it would be a bad idea for all the manga that is just about love of food instead of cooking. It's your choice.

Yeah, but the drunks don't notice.
