Could someone please explain when one would use alimento instead of cibo and vice versa? Thank you.

Hi Tom,
Cibo came from Latin: cibus, i, m.=food
Alimento also came from Latin: alimentum, i, n.=food
I think cibo is used more often than alimento.
Examples: Fanno del cibo buonissimo
They do excellent food.
Il cibo vegetariano
The vegetarian food
alimenti biologici
organic food
E si parlerà ancora di prodotti alimentari.
And we 'll speak again about food
