Essen und Autos ...
after there is no other context this might be another alternative ...
Example:
"All he is interested in is foodstuffs and motor vehicles".
while this is alright in English, the German translation:
"Er interessiert sich nur für Lebensmittel und Kraftfahrzeuge." would (eventhough translated correctly) sound odd.
"Er interessiert sich nur für Essen und Autos." would be more "dynamic" ;)
However, just an alternative to the already posted correct answers...

: The English could have then read "food and cars" to reflect this proposal.

'could have', yes. Again, this is only an alternative to the correct answers above.
