食べる物 and 食べ物 differ
Native Japanese speaker here. "食べる物" is a phrase and is totally different from
"食べ物". "食べる物" means "something to eat"; there is a noun and a verb in that
phrase. On the other hand "食べ物" generally means "food", and it's considered
one word.

Same with "飲み物" and "飲む物"; "飲み物" is one word meaning "drink", and "飲む物" is a
phrase, meaning "something to drink".

If you're ever stuck on whether you should use 食べ物 or 食べる物, I think it would
be safest to go with 食べ物, or search it up on the spot because different
situations require different types of phrases.
