good = adjective well = adverb

Therefore it has to be we eat well as we are describing how we eat and drink. It might be said that adverbs answer the question How…? whilst adjectives answer the question What sort of…?

  • 'She speaks good Japanese.'
  • 'She speaks Japanese well.'
  • 'She speaks Japanese better than I do.'
Note that better is the comparative form of both good and well.
