People think Sri Ramakrishna and Swami Vivekananda were foodies ..i.e. greedy for sweets and tasty dishes like we are.
But this is not the case. Their state of consciousness was simply too high. To anchor it down to the earthly plane they would use small things like food. Otherwise their mind had a natural proclivity to remain absorbed in Samadhi.
But if they remained absorbed in Samadhi how could they guide humanity? This is why they used food as a medium to bring the consciousness down to the human plane.
