Most players agrees that one of Minecraft problems is that it has sooo many food products, but no real use of them.
You can build chicken farm and eat only chicken (wheat, potatoes - select one you like). You don`t need other food really.
I suggest to implement positive effect for eating various food during the day. This effect will make your hunger bar decrease 1.5 times slower then normal (you can suggest your ideas in comments). It works like this: during the day you eat specific food combinations, effect appears and lasts one game day.
To activate this effect you need to eat during the day such food combinations:
Three different cooked meat (Porkchop + Steak + Mutton, or Steak + Chicken + Rabbit , etc.)
OR
Four types of vegetarian food (Beets + Carrots + Bread + Potatoes, etc.)
OR
Two types of meat AND two types of vegetables, including bread (Porkchop + Steak + Carrots + Bread, or Mutton + Chicken + Potatoes + Beets, etc.)
OR
One type of meat AND one type of seafood AND one type of vegetable (cooked Salmon + Steak + Sweet berries, or Rabbit + Dried kelp + bread, etc.)
As you noticed, I suggest three groups of food: meat, seafood, vegetables.
This suggestion. if implemented, can motivate player to seek, farm and eat new food products.
Steak and golden carrots already have enough saturation to cripple hunger bar progression, if not virtually stop it altogether in golden carrots' case. I personally wouldn't want to go through that much effort every day just to cut the saturation drain rate.

Watch out for the crabocalypse. Some say the day will never come. But it will.
Feel free to drop by for a chat whenever.
If you'd like to talk with me about other games, here are a few I play.
Team Fortress 2
Borderlands series (Borderlands 2 is my favorite game, ever. TPS combat is a lot of fun and makes up for the lower-quality story, in my opinion)
Elder Scrolls series
Warframe (IGN is something like That_One_Flesh_Atronach)
Pokémon series (HGSS forever)
Rocket League
Fallout series
Left 4 Dead 2 (Boomer files always corrupt though)
SUPERHOT (SUPERHOT is the most innovative shooter I've played in years!)
Dead Rising series (Dead Rising 2 is one of my favorite games, and the 3rd was a lot of fun. 1st has poor survivor AI and the 4th is bad)
Just Cause series
Come to think of it, I mainly play fighting-based games.
It could also provide you with two additional health hearts like golden apple do. Or your speed could be faster. More oxygen under a water... It must give you some positive effect, to motivate you to eat different food. Game needs to justify current variety of food.

And new food could be added in future.

Suggest your ideas.
People would still only eat steak.
My suggestions: Enhancements - Throwable Fire Charges - On Phantoms and Elytra. Also check out The Minecraftian Language. This signature is not here to waste your space.
I think whole food system needs total overhaul.
