Is This Confirmed for GTA 6?
Rockstar has not confirmed cooking & eating for GTA 6. Below is the verifiable franchise history plus clearly-labelled leaks or expectation — not fact.
In the GTA Series
Eating to restore health began with San Andreas, where CJ had to eat to maintain health (and could overeat). GTA IV and V kept eating as a simple health top-up at restaurants and stores. RDR2 added cooking at camp and the survival angle of hunger affecting cores.
A dedicated 'cooking' system (preparing food from ingredients) has appeared in RDR2, not in mainline GTA.
Reasonable Expectation
Eating for health is effectively certain to return; a deeper RDR2-style cooking or hunger system is possible but unconfirmed for GTA 6.
What Was Removed
Removed invented GTA 6 food items, heal percentages, weight/buff effects ('damage resistance stacks') and 'community reception' stated as fact. Kept the franchise food-and-health history.

Did eating restore health before?
