---- Trademarking a domain necessary ?

From the short amount of research i've done , I still can't tell if I need to trademark my domain or not.

When I initially heard about this years ago, I always thought it was in regard to having a domain of a particular company's name or individuals name.

What if someone has a domain like i-like-food.com (thought of the name off the top of my head...I don't even think it's functional) or something similar where their just like random words in the domain ?

Would someone be able to steal our domain if they all of a sudden trademarked i-like-food.com ?

I never really thought about this much in the past, but I guess maybe I should. or shouldn't ?

And then I read that if you Trademark a domain, that means that you intend to use it for commerce. Well, I never intend to use this particular domain for commerce. but maybe someone else will & will decide to trademark the domain ?

without all the legal mumbo-jumbo talk, any advice on this is appreciated.
