Please provide a concise description of the problem that would be addressed by this feature.

When adding items to a shopping list, I have to toggle food every time. While this is made better with the update earlier this year to leave it toggled when consecutively adding an item, 99% of the time I want to add an item that is from my foods list so that I get autocomplete and category without having to enter additional information.

So anytime I go into my shopping list, I have to toggle it on. I frequently think of an item, go in the app, and have to toggle it on before I can actually add my item. It feels odd that a "note" is the primary item instead of the actual item.

Please provide a concise description of the feature that would resolve your issue.

I would like to have the option to have food toggled by default. Ideally as a user setting so that the behavior can match a user's preference rather than forcing default behavior.

Please consider and list out some caveats or tradeoffs made in your design decision

If made a user setting, none that I can think of.

Probably something as simple as remembering your last choice will work for this. Similar to the previous update how it persists between items, but making it persist between sessions.

That sounds like a great solution as well!
