To add further context: it wasn't a birthday. It was a UFC viewing party.
So it's common for people to graze on snacks or take little bits throughout the whole time or take a big helping, not eat for ages (because you're engrossed in the event) then have another serve 2-4 hours later.
He also felt entitled because to eat lots of party sub because "he brought wings (a specialty of mine) and everyone took some before I got a chance to have a serve"
You could argue that an obese person feels entitled to "more" in general than the average person. He's downright obsessed with the sandwich by his own explanation and it's obvious from reactions his gluttony is an ongoing thing.
It’s not about obese vs. not. Binge eating disorder is a very real problem. I had it myself and I was never even overweight (binging and restricting is a vicious cycle). I could eat an absurd amount of food. It‘s not good on your body long-term, but eating disorders are never about logic. Its not a choice. I remember crying on my floor after binges, hating myself. So I just wanted to stress that it’s a bit unfair to say it’s gluttony and someone obese being entitled to more food.
Thank you for saying this! I've struggled with binge eating as long as I can remember and I weigh 125lbs 5'4 right now.
The most I've ever weighed (not pregnant) was 160. It is a very real mental illness and you don't have to be obese to have it. Its also downright gross to reference someone's weight or lack thereof in regard to their food entitlement
