i am having food vs i am eating food

Both these phrases are correct. However, they're used in slightly different contexts. 'I am having food' is more commonly used in Indian English to mean 'I am eating.' On the other hand, 'I am eating food' is a more universal and widely understood way to express the action of consuming food.
