1) Food is an easy subject to photograph. It doesn't move, it's attractive (chefs try to present good looking food), it's close-up (so you don't need a big lens to get bokeh / blur; and you don't need to zoom so it's steadier).
2) Food is fun to look at. Mmm, foood.
3) It hits the lowest common denominator. Everybody eats.
Yes, it looks a bit boring and shallow. It's broadcast, so it has to be. I bet the OP has some really interesting IM conversations with real friends, but anything in the newsfeed is going to be crap.
