Meaning
This reads as a joke with a plain moral core, money is not the point, appetite and family influence are. The line can be taken to mean that a person's values are shaped early, and that success feels empty unless it supports something loved in everyday life, here food. It lands especially well when someone resists status spending and chooses work for a deeper pleasure.
