1.''I made my food heat up.'' 2.''I heated up my food.'' Do they have the same meaning?
 
The second is fine. The first is completely unnatural.

So, 1.''I made my food heated up'' and2.''I made my food heat up'' are completely different, aren't they? First one imples that ''I heated up my food'' whereas the second one implies ''My food was heated up by someone''.
 
Meanwhile, my paragraph arrangment does not look as I have done. I have edited it again, but it looks like there again as you see... There is something wrong.

Actually it implies that he forced the food to heat itself up.
 
Second one, right?

I was talking about "I made my food heat up."

"I made my food heated up" is not very natural either, but at least it has an actor who is doing the heating.
 
He was being facetious.
