It wasn’t polite to stare, he knew that, but it wasn’t like he’d ever actually cared about being polite. That was entirely beside the point though. It had started, at least, like a normal day for him. A break from school, a chance to run some errands and stock up on some resources he needed for his latest project, and ending up at a cozy little ramen shop for lunch. Honestly, pizza had also sounded good, but the ramen shop was closer and cheaper for a student on a budget.
But the real problem lay in the man completely decimating every bowl he was handed. Donatello knew enough about human anatomy to be equal parts concerned and curious. Wouldn’t eating that much make a person feel nauseous after a while? Still the guy was going strong. Honestly, it sort of made him feel a bit ill just watching...
“Don’t you get sick?” he found himself asking, in spite of his desire to finish his own ramen and leave. “The speed at which you’re eating and the amount you’re eating stands to reason that the normal gag reflex would have kicked in right now, or the expanding of your stomach to signal to your brain that you’re already full..” He paused for a moment, squinting at the man.
“Even my rather sturdy older brother doesn’t eat that much. How in the world are you managing it?”
