One kernel of corn and one grain of rice is how those things naturally occur, without being ground up into much smaller pieces, kind of a completely different category, but like this is entirely a silly hypothetical thought experiment so you can set whatever parameters for "single object of food" to whatever you want, you could consider a molecule of soup if you go far enough down the chain

For the premise of the stupid discussion to work I figured any piece of cookable physically distinguishable food object could enter the draft. Meaning dust of flour might be ok, but molecule is not. Same goes for water droplet aka fine, but water molecule is not. Also, should liquids even count? Since you set the parameters to a whole piece of cookable food aka popcorn. Which makes a cooked grain of rice okay, but a dust of flour debatable because unlike puffed rice or popped corn no one ever said "I'll just have one" to a dust of cooked flour or a crumb of bread but I'm open to discuss it.
