It was my understanding that Google provides free food for its employees partly because people who get company dinner are also expected to work past dinner hours. Is this false?

False. At a company-wide level, Google makes an effort to encourage work-life balance.

Ultimately you need to produce a reasonable amount of output ("reasonable" as defined by your peers + manager). How it gets there doesn't really matter.
