Food is power in civ4, the more food you have the higher you can grow your pop, the more pop you have the more gnp/mfg you can generate. If you start slacking cos your cities are too big then you can hire specialists, often early game these are better than cottages anyways as it will take cottages longer to develop.

In any civ4 game vs AI or humans you want to expand and grow as quickly as you can. Once you research BW there isnt a unit that can effectivly destroy your army till xbows which are often lightyears away. Therefore you don't have to worry about falling slightly behind as in the long run your cities will be growing for longer/be bigger.
