Can't I say that "It" here is a pronoun of "The food" in the sentence?

It is worth eating the food.

I know that "It" here functions as a dummy it.

And how about this one?

It is worth eating = The food is worth eating.

Can't I say that "It" here is a pronoun of "The food" in the sentence?

What do you native English speakers think? Thank you so much as usual in advance and happy new year.
