food in production bar

[b0b]

I have civ iv with patch 1.74. it is putting the food on the producion bar so things build faster, but there is no population growth.

If you are building either a settler or a worker, growth halts and food becomes part of production; that's by design. Once that build is finished and you switch to a different unit or a building then it'll go back to using food for growth.
