No. It is appreciating and seeking out maybe the best food truck to perhaps the best upscale restaurant.

Annoyingly overused term. Just say you like to eat out. So do I. We get it.

I have three kids. One has the potential to be a foodie. He loves nearly every cuisine he's tried. (Note, not every food ... he seems to have some textural aversions, but once we started trying him with lots of different ethnic foods, he became a voracious eater.) Likes to talk about food, likes to cook.
The others are good eaters, but they truly do not care about food. They eat to live, as opposed to how some people say they live to eat.
I'm kind of a foodie, but limited by money and the busy-ness of our life. I like planning my cooking for the week, love grocery shopping, love trying new places and new recipes.
This is the correct answer. It's not a food snob per se.

This, OP. Not the same as what you describe.
+1 Foodies *can* have eating disorders or addictions of course, but the not necessarily. The key component is that they're really snobby about what they eat.

No. Also, do people still say foodie? That’s so 20 years ago.

Absolutely not. A lot of the restaurants that cater to "foodies" serve extremely small portions

Are foodies really just the same as people with eating disorders, food addictions/obsessions?
