Green's answer to removal has always been the fight spell, and every one of them shares a liability: your creature takes the return blow. This is a fight without the counterpunch. Your creature deals damage, the target creature deals none back, and the biggest thing on your side of the board becomes a clean assassination tool rather than a mutual-destruction gamble. That one-directional restructuring is the whole point. It is the difference between trading and executing, and it sidesteps the classic green problem where your fatty gets chipped to death by a smaller blocker on the way out.
The Food token stapled on top is a small tax rebate. The removal is priced as if the artifact were free, which reads as generosity until you notice how many green shells now care about Foods entering the battlefield: the token is not there to gain three life so much as to trigger the boards built around it. Green's fights have historically been all downside once the spell resolved, offering no board development and no card advantage beyond the kill. Feeding a sacrifice-fueled engine a resource on the way past changes the math on whether a one-for-one removal spell is worth the slot. As instant-speed removal that scales with the largest creature you can put in front of it, it rewards the deck that was already trying to make the biggest thing, then hands that deck a snack for the trouble.
