Insatiable Frugivore is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.
Official card text
When this creature enters, create a Food token, then you may exile three cards from your graveyard. If you do, repeat this process., Sacrifice X Foods: Creatures you control get +X/+0 and gain menace until end of turn.
How it works : Insatiable Frugivore
Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall
- #1· Wizards of the Coast
Whatever you do, don't eat the delicious cards.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #2· Wizards of the Coast
If an effect refers to a Food, it means any Food artifact, not just a Food artifact token. For example, you can sacrifice Tough Cookie (an Artifact Creature — Food Golem) to activate Maraleaf Rider's ability (an ability with "Sacrifice a Food" in its cost).

- #3· Wizards of the Coast
Food is an artifact type. Even though it appears on some creatures, it's never a creature type.
Card named in this ruling
- #4· Wizards of the Coast
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.

- #5· Wizards of the Coast
You repeat the process as part of the resolution of Insatiable Frugivore's first ability. If the Food token you created or the cards you exiled from your graveyard caused any abilities to trigger, those abilities won't go on the stack until after Insatiable Frugivore's first ability has finished resolving.
Card named in this ruling
- #6· Wizards of the Coast
Players can't take other actions during the resolution of Insatiable Frugivore's first ability. Notably, they can't try to remove cards from your graveyard between repetitions of this process.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #7· Wizards of the Coast
The process in Insatiable Frugivore's first ability is repeated until you decline to exile three cards from your graveyard. You can't try to exile three cards from your graveyard if you don't have at least three cards in your graveyard.
No other card is named in this ruling.
- #8· Wizards of the Coast
You can choose 0 for the value of X in the cost of Insatiable Frugivore's last ability. If you do, creatures you control will just gain menace until end of turn. (The mere idea of someone eating berries like that is scary enough, apparently.)
No other card is named in this ruling.
