Destroy all creatures with power 3 or greater. Then create a Food token for each creature you control. (It's an artifact with "2, T, Sacrifice this token: You gain 3 life.")

Legality is a property of the card, not the printing, so it is identical for all 5 versions.

Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.

You can't sacrifice a Food to pay multiple costs. For example, you can't sacrifice a Food token to activate its own ability and also to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability.

Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
