Line 11:
In comics and manga it's become more common to make a [[Comically Serious]] character or [[Badass]] [[Action Girl]] a Big Eater as a way to add a humorous quirk that doesn't actually take away from the character's seriousness.
Occasionally the [[Extreme Omnivore]]. Tends to be [[Obsessed with Food]] when not eating. For bad guys who are defined by this trait, see [[Villainous Glutton]]. In [[Shonen]] anime, this often overlaps with [[Idiot Hero]]. Sometimes [[Truth in Television]], as fate can be an unfeeling mistress. Many people with ''normal'' appetites struggle to reach their desired weights their entire lives, while others can eat copious amounts of food and still be as thin as a rail. Teenagers in general are known for being able to eat amounts of food that will make them fat if they continue to eat like that in their 20s and beyond. However, this trope can have unpleasant consequences in [[Real Life]], for that see [[Death by Gluttony]]. Usually a character with a [[Black Hole Belly]] is a Big Eater.

Another typical line goes thus:
{{quote|'''Big Eater:''' ''(after ordering enough for everybody)'' [[Bait and Switch|So what are you guys having?]]}}
Or after finishing:
{{quote|'''Big Eater:''' So what's for dessert?}}
Almost an [[Obligatory Joke]] occurs when said Big Eater and at least one other character is doing something requiring physical effort:
{{quote|'''Big Eater:''' All this work is making me hungry.
'''Other Character''' ''(usually under his breath)'': ''Breathing'' makes you hungry...}}
{{noreallife|we don't care, because it doesn't matter from a storytelling point of view.}}
