Food contains energy. When we eat food some complex body chemistry releases that energy so that we can move our arms and legs. If you pedal a bicycle with one of those headlights powered off the wheel you are generating electricity from food.

Food is mostly carbohydrates which means compounds of water (H2O) plus a surplus of carbon and hydrogen. If you dry out the water you can burn the carbohydrates to make steam to drive a turbine to make electricity. For example in a sugar refinery they squeeze the sugar out of the cane and burn the leftovers to make electricity.
