When you LE you're pretty much forced to give up a substantial number of items in order to even come close to being unencumbered. The earlier levels are often the harshest, and it's completely unreasonable to assume that anyone will have enough bank space to store everything they accumulated in a single LE, let alone have enough space left over to carry food for the earlier levels (because even after storing and selling everything that they're willing to part with, all those battle items and whatnot will inevitably place them over their limit anyway). And this doesn't just apply to LE'd characters, new characters can run into the same issue fairly quickly when monsters and chests start offloading items onto them. I often find myself having to eat food early just to break even with my max encumbrance, only to quickly be placed over it again.

The whole 'encumbered after LE' matter has nothing to do with food in your inventory. I had no food before and after an LE and I was at least 20-30+ over the inventory weight limit. Though to be frank, food doesn't do too much to help in the lower levels, especially when you're rocking Promoted Classes by then. Even having one Brain Food is kinda overkill for what's expected of someone within the first ten levels.

The deal on 'hey not everyone does dungeons/PvE/PvP' also doesn't make a whole lot of sense; you can still progress through levels simply by roleplaying. I really cannot see how someone like that would have an issue with food without having an ungodly amount on them (or they stuff their inventory with an ungodly amount of something else), especially if they pick up Packrat.
