bad breath goes away when I eat food

About 2 weeks ago I went to the doctor about my halitosis problem. One of the questions he asked me before booking me in with a pathology on the 11th april was, "does food make your breath better or worse" - i replied that I didn't know (i was thinking how could food make your breath better?)

Anyway, I was coming home from the movies tonight and the back of my tongue absolutely reeked (would have been a 300-500 on the halimeter). There was no one home so I didn't bother brushing my teeth, so I just ate a plain vanilla muffin, a small one (two bites worth). After that, I decided to smell the back of my tongue (rubbing my fingers all over it). AND THE SMELL WAS GONE (easily under 50 on the halimeter).

What does this suggest?

my breath gets worse when i'm hungry. when i eat something, the bb lessens (although it's not totally gone)
