Fans discuss Elaine's frequent eating and snacking habits on the show, debating whether her constant consumption is realistic or problematic.

Does anyone notice that Elaine eats too much food during the show. She is basically always chewing on something; JOO JOO candies, cereal etc. AS soon as she enters Seinfelds apartment she goes straight for the refrigerator. What's wrong with her??

Maybe that's all she eats. Maybe she has low blood sugar. Maybe she eats several small meals instead of 3 large ones. Maybe she has a lightning-fast metabolism. Maybe she's teething.

I, too, have noticed that Elaine is always eating on the show. If you watch closely, it's always rice cakes, Ju jee Fruits (tons of sugar, but virtually fat-free), big salads, cereal (probably low-fat). She drinks Jerry's Snapple and works out.

There is nothing wrong with her, and I'm sure there are millions of women out there who find themselves with the same eating habits. We'd like to stay relatively thin, *but* we LOVE food...

Cheers to Elaine (with a Diet Coke, of course) for portraying what I have experienced to be a pretty normal woman when it comes to food.

- It's about time there was one on a show who was a role model to show that women CAN eat. I think it is a good thing for young girls to see. Maybe there could be a drop in anorexia.

Perhaps, but she's still thin, so she must be a binge-and-purger. Either that, or she has an incredible metabolism. Or maybe all that easy sex keeps her in shape.
