1* Why don't they buy their meat in bulk from a butcher? I don't know about North America, but where I'm from the amount of meat they sometimes buy (bacon especially) seems like something they'd get far more value from buying from a butcher and not at a supermarket, buying small pre-packaged meat. Wouldn't that stuff be about the most expensive way to buy meat? They could save some [[CatchPhrase Youtube Money]].
2** For their larger pieces of meat, they probably do. Also, note that many larger supermarkets have a butcher at them.
3* Muscles Glasses is a ''personal trainer'', for God's sake! It's like a rabbi working part-time in a bacon shop!
4** Not to mention the fact that he's definitely gotten a bit chubby overtime. His father noted it when he was in an episode and it's been lampshaded several times.
5*** [[FridgeBrilliance The presence of a personal trainer in the group is probably why none of them have gotten noticably fatter from their culinary misadventures.]] [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg Except maybe Cousin Dave.]]
6*** Muscles Glasses' departures that stretch months at a time are most likely due to the fact that he absolutely ''has'' to stay on top of his weight [[SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome ''because'' of his job as a trainer]]. This was in fact noted when in a few episodes where they note that they would normally shred cheese using his abs, but he was at the gym.
7** Also, in some extreme muscle gaining programs, massive caloric and protein intake is part of the diet plan. Michael Phelps was said to have a training diet of over 12,000 calories a day. The ridiculously large consumption of fat, cholesterol, sugar and alcohol are ''not'' recommended by these programs though.
