Sophomore indulges his appetite for eating

When one imagines a glutton, someone plump usually comes to mind. Sophomore Anish Srinivasan’s lean 6 foot, 140- pound  frame makes one think quite the opposite.

“When no one is watching, I generally sneak up to my refrigerator,” Srinivasan said. “My parents are often surprised to see a fraction of the food gone.”

Srinivasan consumes enormous quantities of food on a regular basis, no matter his mood. He generally enjoys Indian food, but appreciates food of all cultures.

“I like eating because each [type of] food tells a different story in terms of how it is spiced,” Srinivasan said. “My parents say that I’m a growing boy, so I’m trying to get something under these skin and bones.”

Srinivasan enjoys eating at home, but he also fancies eating at restaurants, especially at buffets and all-you-can-eat joints.

“When mealtime approaches, I’m generally starving,” Srinivasan said. “So when I see food, my mouth is watering, and my stomach is rumbling. I just dig in when my food arrives, and I’m first in line for seconds. ”

According to Srinivasan, he does not splurge on food to be polite. However, when he is alone, he says his hunger becomes unbearable, and he lunges at the nearest sandwich.

“Hunger gnaws at me at every opportunity,” Srinivasan said. “I try to control it at school, but when I get home, I go all out with it, and it isn’t very surprising to find me with a snack.”

Srinivasan also takes joy in the prospect of having more food than his friends.

“I remember at one of my friend’s birthday parties, I ninja-ed my way to get three cookies when others only had one,” said Srinivasan. “It was immensely satisfying to have more than anyone else, but I also felt sorry for others.”

Srinivasan said that he will try to fix his issue of mass food consumption.

“It won’t happen immediately, or within a week,” Srinivasan said. “I will assure you that one day, I will get this issue solved. Hopefully, by that time, I will look more solid and muscular in my chest and arm areas.”
