How does the composition of organic foods compare to the composition of organic fuels?

There is no way to compare them as the word organic has entirely different meanings in each context:
- organic in the context of foods means they were grown without use of certain practices seen as potentially unhealthful
- organic in the context of chemistry/fuels means complex carbon compounds
All foods, both organic and nonorganic are organic in the chemical sense.

How did the carbon in fossil fuels get there?
Fossil fuels (such as oil) are the result of organic matter breaking down over millions of years. Since Carbon is main element in organic processes, it can be found in fossil fuels as well.
What is the composition of fossil fuels?
difference between bioenergy and fossil energy
What is necessary to change matter into fossil fuels?
Fossil fuels need organic matter, such as ancient animals or vegetation, that needs to decay and be compressed by layers of sediments, or rocks, by millions of years
Why are coal and petroleum considered fossil fuels?
Long term deposits of organic material over great distances of time and pressure.
What isn't fossil fuels?
The inorganic/organic fuels that are used as propellent in rockets.
Are fossil fuels inorganic or organic?
organicDiesel fuel, like all combustible fuels, is considered organic. It is a mixture of several different lengths of hydrocarbons along with some additives for engine protection and fuel stabilization.
