On May 12th, 2005, he wolfed 252 bananas, 8 coconuts, 4 pineapples, 48 walnuts, 10 pounds of carrots, and 6 pounds of raw peanut butter. As a result, he gained 2.4 pounds, which he considers small compared to the amount of food he consumed. --— Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Lin (talkcontribs)

warning - do not do what andrew says, i did not know he had done this yesterday but his face was red and he was sweating perfusely, not a good thing by any means --- agata bugaj — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Lin (talkcontribs)

You are not at all qualified to make a judgement about my experiment. Firstly, you still believe bananas make you fat even after I proved otherwise. And secondly, you continue to consume non-natural foods (artificial sweeteners). --— Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Lin (talkcontribs)

ok u win but what'z the deal with stuffing bananas aren't they expensive --— Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Lin (talkcontribs)

Sure bananas cost money, but it's still better than eating fast-food 4 or 5 times a week, like I used to. Besides I have nothing to do with my money anyways. --— Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrew Lin (talkcontribs)

Let me clear up this debate on bananas. Naturally, it would appear Asians genetically have a body that is more apt to eating large amounts of carbs on a regular basis. This is because for some hundreds of thousands of years, they have been developing under a high-carbohydrate diet, namely one high in rice and vegetables. This may be why you can eat that many bananas without much of a weight gain. If Agata or I repeat the same experiment, we may not see the same result. - Janet Fisher — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.2.247.45 (talkcontribs)

Thank you very much. Well, whatever the reason, it's good to know my favorite food won't cause any weight gain for me! - Andrew Lin (— Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.170.0.238 (talkcontribs) ---

Bananas

edit

I wolfed down 162 bananas once in a single sitting during a high school bet. Mind you staff and students were careful not to allow any naked flames around me afterwards. The problem however was eating so many bananas caused a blockage in my digestive system. The only thing that could quickly save my life by speeding up the banana digestion was drinking soda. It removed the banana chunks in my digestive tract and literally saved my life. Thank goodness for drinking soda. Megan1967 05:13, 28 May 2005 (UTC)Reply
