I've been to my college's buffet a couple of times ( I usually bring food from home cuz vegetarian), and I'm always surprised at how much lard buckets can eat. I saw this creature pile up 5 plates !!! I also always trigger hams when I go, cuz it looks like I'm eating a lot ( if I'm paying, I'm staying for like 5 hours and do some studying) but I eat less than them spread out over time. One plate of salad , the veggie option when I'm done, some fruits to graze while I'm there, and more vegies/pasta (if the vegetarian option is atrocious ) later.
