11 year old me, too. I grew 6" in about 4 months but I only weighed about 60lbs when I was done because I was super tiny to start. My mom said our food bill roughly doubled that summer because I was eating about 4 servings at every meal. Could've fit my scrawny ass in that 100% off section probably and then gone ham on a buffet.
Me in college. About 5'11", 135lbs, all tone all the time from climbing and biking several hours every day. I spent a lot of time just trying to eat enough food to keep up
Exactly this. My ex-wife was 5’2”, 94 pounds with clothes on. She got us banned from our favorite Chinese buffet restaurant. Her diet was "anything not nailed down." Lots of good reasons why she's an ex, but I do miss how she could pack away food.
Yeah, fat almost 40 year old me can never do ann all you can eat. If I did one it would be a full plate one or two plates. Teens/20’s me would marauder the all you can eat I was also doing 2-3 sports at a time but still. Thin young people are gonna eat more than us old fat fucks. I remember doing it at Golden Coral and Ponderosaas a kid
I said this above, but there's a reason for that. Thin people can eat more in a single meal than fat people because their stomach can expand more due to having less fat to push against.
I wasn’t but similar thing: while I’ve put in a lot of pounds as I get older, I eat much less than younger me. I don’t think this gate would have the desired effect
Although I’m more annoyed at the height discrimination.
At 20-30% off you are paying only 70-80% markup. The 10% off guy is getting 90% markup. No restaurant would create something like this if they weren't marking up the menu to start with.
You don't think about how much extra you are paying because you are too busy thinking about the discount you got squeezing yourself through a sign.
Thin people can actually eat more in a single meal than fat people because their stomach is of equal size, but fat people's stomach has to push against a fat layer that thin people don't have- or at least have a lot less of. It's why thin people are generally better at winning eating contests.
That just illustrates the difference that is an all you can eat business and a single event contest
Restaurants need repeat customers. Ignoring exclusions for special considerations or circumstances, if you are fat, eating larger portions of food than you need to when you eat is likely why you are fat.
Calories in calories out
Most people arent active enough to not get fat while eating large portions of food
Idk man, I have some obese relatives and they eat so much at a single meal that it makes me nauseous just observing it. They may have fat pushing against their stomachs, but I'm pretty sure their stomachs are stretched out to the max.
Not sure if this is a good idea, watching the big eaters on You Tube they all seem to be fairly fit. See Matt Stoney, Leah Shutkever, Joel Haver, Mom v Food, Beard meats food, Raina Huang, Max v Food and Katina Eats Kilos.
The only 'larger' eater would be Katina's SO Randy Santel, and I think he's slimmer than the guy in the photo; although probably taller!
I think he meant Joel Hanson. Him and beard both wear size medium t-shirts and will ruin your profitability for the day in one meal. If you treat them with respect though you'll get it back and more through free advertising.
Quick edit to add, heavy guys can never outeat the skinny pros. You get a fat belt that won't let your stomach stretch. It's very real.
