When "damn" has no longer any condemnatory or religious meaning and is merely an emphatic, translate it by a plain emphatic.
"god damn food" means (to me) that there is a complaint about the food, perhaps the quality, perhaps the timing such as a 3-course meal offered when I have 5 minutes to get to the railway station.
