Answer

There is a difference.

"get" in this context means "obtain", most probably by buying them from a shop.

"have" in this context means "eat".

Answer

Because "have" reffers you've alredy possess something. On the other hand, "get" is the verb for express that you obtain something.

Answer

THANK YOU ALL!

Answer

Bibinur's right - it's very rare to write "foods" unless you have a specific reason for doing so. Most of the time, "food" is uncountable.  Also, remember that "often" sits before the main verb, even in negative and question forms: "doesn't often get", "doesn't often have". Follow this rule and you'll seem more natural.

Answer

And the word "food" doesn't have plural form.It's uncountable.May be it's used in some contexts
