The scoring of this game is actually better than 5 per food.

It is dependent on how many food you kill on a single push,
thus if you kill 4 you get 5+10+15+20 = 50pts,
also the salt is worth 50 and there are lots of spoons for free men, at least the few times I played had a lot of spoons.

A few tips,
each food item behavure is different.
I found the drumbstick the most dangerous, becasue it goes right for you, while the fish flounders a bit slowere to you, and the meat does not always go directly to you.

Try to create a long passage and if you get multiple guys in it you can kill several with one block adding up the points quickly.

Try to always stay behind a block,
I had a single block in the middle and was being chased by a steak arround it. I just continued to run in circles until I was able to get a clean shot at it.

When availible try to push a block to block the food in. if they are blocked in they cannot kill you and you can focus on outrunning the ones in the open.

when choosing the block to kill blocked in food with, try to use one that will not allow them to attack you if you miss them.

The farthur away you are from the food your trying to smoosh the easier it is for them to doge the Ice Cube.

it is easier to run by pushing blocks instead of melting blockes. melting blocks takes about twice as long as pushing and pushing is ablout half the speed of walking stright.

The shoes are nice, but not really worth trying to get, it does not give a distinct advantage.
The spoon gives a free life, always get unless you already filled up your spoons. even if you die imediatly after getting it, it is ok, because you really do not take a penalty for loosing the life since you would have just colected one.
THe Salt is good to get if you do not die in the process, because if you do die just to get the salt odds are you could have gotten more than 50 points with before dying. thus more economical to get the salt with causion only.
And naturally the Ice burg is good to get, but like the rest of the bonus items, pointless to try to get it if you die tying to reach it.

It is hard to explain some of the game stratagy but let me try this: when running strait instead of melting a block in front of you go around it an melt blocks to get behind the block that way you can push it to seal up the path you came from.
try to get behind rows of blocks, sometimes you have to melt your own row behind the blocks.

I am sure some other people could elaborate on some of these stratagies.
I hope this helps some of you.

You can kill the food before they start moving.
