food not giving health
When using Cabbages from the Avatar Commander. When I get damage it is supposed to sacrifice a food token automatically. Well the food gets sacrificed fine but not health is applied.

Of course not. To get life from Food you have to sacrifice it to its own ability. Simply sacrificing a Food does not activate its ability to gain life. It is not a trigger upon its sacrifice. It has its own activated ability, and you have to activate that ability to gets its effect.
118.10. Each payment of a cost applies to only one spell, ability, or effect. For example, a player can’t
sacrifice just one creature to activate the activated abilities of two permanents that each require
sacrificing a creature as a cost. Also, the resolution of a spell or ability doesn’t pay another spell or
ability’s cost, even if part of its effect is doing the same thing the other cost asks for.
