Yes. While "The food becomes cold" is a grammatical sentence, "The food is getting cold" is a much more likely utterance. The use of the simple present in "The food becomes cold" would only make sense if it were a habitual action or narration, both of which are improbable, and English speakers would be much more likely to use the verb "get" than the verb "become" in this context.
