The reason hes growling is because he is afraid you are going to take away his food or toys. A growl isn't meant to be aggressive, it's more of a "stay away!" warning.
It's obvious you don't know shit and thats why you got your face bit. How about you try researching dog body language and behavior? If the dog is growling, don't approach him because he WILL attack because you didn't respect his personal space.
Leave him alone when he eats, however the toy thing is a bit concerning. Has he always done it, or has,the habit recently picked up?
If you really want to approach him while he plays/eats, try to not directly look at his eyes and try to lower yourself around his height to make yourself look less scary. Don't move to fast around him. If he still growls, stop and back away.
Is he doing anything else then growling when you approach? Is he licking his lips, wagging his tail, avoiding eye contact, etc?
I have no problem getting attacked. That's the fundamental difference between us.
The dog can choose to fight me or choose not to. But if he wants to fight me I will fight him. If he wants to fight to the death I will kill him.
The bottom line is that no dog should act that way. If a child was around him he would probably bite them. Perhaps you're more sympathetic and see dogs as more human than I do. I think canines and humans are allies, but traitors, no matter the species, shouldn't be tolerated.
