Going beyond the literary translation of the topic, the idea of a person who lives to eat is typically not the one who eats too much, but eats much more than he produces.. i.e., his contribution to the society in general is much lesser than what he takes from the society. They need not be eating too much, but exploit every chance of getting their meals free. People who eat to live are those who contribute to the society by taking just enough for their requirements and in general leave a surplus for the society ( which gets swallowed up by the persons who live to eat ! ) Side: Live to eat

"Live to Eat" This statement means "living for the purpose to eat". Thus that means that food has to be "worth living for". I would agree that food is worth living for, because as long as you eat, you will live to eat time and time again. Is this making any sense? Side: Live to eat
