Well it doesn't actually carry food down there. The blood carries nutrients and oxygen to your extremities through capillaries. These are very tiny veins that branch off from the veins connected to your arteries. When you prick your finger or toe the blood that comes out is actually from one of these capillaries.

A short caption on how oxygen moves from the lungs to toe cells?

The farther away you move from the heart, speed slows. The arteries narrow, eventually branching into arterioles. (smallest artery). The blood vessels are so tiny that you and the other red blood cells have to squeeze through in single file. These are the capillaries. In the capillary you give up the oxygen molecule you've been carrying since the trip from the lungs. The oxygen moves out through the capillary walls and enters the cells of your big toe. There, the oxygen is used to release energy from food. That energy keeps the cells of your big toe alive. After oxygen is released a molecule of carbon dioxide is received, a waste product created from the energy releasing activities of those same toe cells.
