You don't think you're getting a little bit obsessed by any chance, Osse?

If he was something other than this, then who knows? But he seems to eat. Goldberry serves food while the Hobbits are there.
Fëar, spirits, would certainly exist without any nourishment at all; probably drawing as you say, Finwe, on the Flame. It is the body itself that needs nutrition, as the body is a work and creation of the Earth and obeys its laws.
