Due to not taking it at any point during the first three years of high school, Ron's forced to take health class as senior--and he complains to Kim about being the only senior in a class full of freshmen. Ron's health class is also taught by Mr. Barkin, and the first thing that's taught to Ron and the freshmen is the importance of healthy eating--Ron defiantly tries to prove him wrong by making his diet 'all-Bueno Nacho.' Unfortunately, it takes a nasty turn after he's exposed to a [=HenchCo=] chemical.

Due to not taking it at any point during the first three years of high school, Ron's forced to take health class as senior--and he complains to Kim about being the only senior in a class full of freshmen. Ron's health class is also taught by Mr. Barkin, Barkin ([[RunningGag who else?]]), and the first thing that's taught to Ron and the freshmen is the importance of healthy eating--Ron defiantly tries to prove him wrong by making his diet 'all-Bueno Nacho.' Unfortunately, it takes a nasty turn after he's exposed to a [=HenchCo=] chemical.



* BigEater: Out of spite, Ron’s already voracious appetite goes into overdrive as he not only commits to eating Bueno Nacho only, but excessive amounts of it. He even makes up his own orders out of combining differently numbered items on the menu. It’s telling that he ate enough to put on a decent amount of weight ''before'' getting mutated.



* FatAndProud: While initially in denial about getting chubby, after being submerged in Project Titan and growing taller alongside wider Ron seems to be pleased with his girth since he's "never felt better."

to:

* EveryoneHasStandards:
** Ned may be an employee of Bueno Nacho, but he is taken aback when Ron makes a massive order as the first meal of his new diet, asking if he’s sure since it will load him up with a lot more beans and cheese than usual. He eventually gets weary of Ron constantly over-ordering and even making up his own orders by combining different meals.
** Barkin always enjoys getting one over Ron, but as he grows he becomes much more genuinely concerned for Ron’s well-being beyond his usual militant attitude.
* TheFatEpisode: Forced by Disney executives, no less. Ron begins overindulging himself on absolutely nothing but Bueno Nacho for weeks on end to try to prove a healthy diet isn’t actually helpful. He quickly gets fat, though the latter half of the episode sees him undergo science-induced growth more than just overeating.
* FatAndProud: While initially in denial about getting chubby, after being submerged in Project Titan and growing taller alongside wider Ron seems to be pleased with his girth since he's "never felt better."" Right before he mutates, he’s happily massaging his belly like he’s downright pleased with his new body.



* SpaceWhaleAesop: It's pretty obvious the writers weren't that thrilled about being forced to write a VerySpecialEpisode, as they intentionally make the Healthy Eating message about as extreme and unrealistic as possible. Even TheTag lampshades this where rather than talking about healthy eating in general, Ron instead lectures the audience about avoiding vats of mutagenic chemicals.

to:

* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: Though she does needle him about his weight gain and irresponsible diet choice, Kim is otherwise unperturbed by the change in her boyfriend until he becomes much nastier and capricious, and that’s when she storms out on him.

Added DiffLines:

* YouAreFat: Kim makes a few snarky, but playful jokes about Ron’s fattening up, which Ron isn’t pleased by. Later, though, after being exposed to the serum, Ron is so gluttonous that he doesn’t process Bonnie’s taunts about his weight at all, too busy eating.

Per thread. Also, Ron gaining weight is realistic but not surprisingly.


* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Going on an all-Bueno Nacho diet goes as well for Ron as you'd expect. Ron's constant gorging on extremely fattening and extremely large Bueno Nacho food cause him to gain a noticeable amount of weight in a short period of time. As Barkin points out, he gets extremely out of shape, has a slower reaction time, and outgrows his clothes. If it hadn't been for the chemical, Ron would've been on a straight path to obesity at ''best.''
