Why do we need food?

from GalCiv3 Forums

So, I know it's probably way too late for this, but can't we get rid of food as a stat in this game? We have two different stats in the game that dictate max population, do we really need both? It seems to me that with Approval in a good place, food becomes redundant.

Two different stats for max population?

If you play as synthetic, doesn't something other than food determine max population?  I thought that was why there were two different concepts for food and population.
