(Why is 事 here? Is 食 not enough?)
I think "食” is "to eat sohething"; basically consists in the habit or the custom.
”食” is kind of formal, so we litarally say "食べる事” on the daily conversation.
"食事” simply means "a meal".
I know it's difficult to select a word appropriately, because it's also difficult for me in English.
Just get used to it!
