See Energy/Automatic feeding.

No, not compete. Food was intended to be static, although starting
with version 2.3 you can define your genotype for food, so
it can be "active".

For true competition, a new expdef would be more suitable,
because standard.expdef is for single gene pool optimization.

MacKo

I guess you're using standard.expdef

Check the settings for the food population there, and see that neural
network simulation is switched off,
Read the doc's about how to tweak the .expdef file.

The idea of food population is to provide still food elements, not active.
Creatures of 'creatures' group as a standard cannot touch eachother. See the
docs about collision masks and the expdef how to change this.
Have fun
