How come the turtles don't suffer health problems?

Edit - How come the turtles don't suffer health problems eating too much pizza?

They eat pizza EVERYDAY. They eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Did the mutation do something to their organs?

Even if they train/work out everyday to avoid weight gain, it could still cause other health problems.

In the Fred Wolf series, There was an episode where the Turtles were sick, But it was only a sickness affecting mutants, Not humans.

In another episode (Sky Turtles), there was the problem of Michelangelo gaining weight from eating too much pizza.

They are cartoon characters.

Expected the logic behind the question to be: "They live in a sewer...I mean...POOP!!"

You're asking logical questions about something 100% illogical that also happens to be a kids cartoon. Stop that.

They are teenagers... they can eat anything and get away with it. Also pizza is definitely not the worst food for a young person. Especially if they eat a variety of different toppings. They can pretty much get all the nutrition they need just from pizza and water! think about it, you've got grains, vegetables (tomato sauce at the minimum), meat, dairy... it's not perfectly balanced but they could be eating far worse. It' not like their favorite food is hostess snack cakes.

Also, it depends on the series but in some iterations they do have well-rounded diets. One of the things I love about the Nick show is that while they love pizza, they aren't shown eating it non-stop for every meal. They eat all sorts of things.

Mutant healing factoor...

Because reading a comic about Mikey getting a colonoscopy isn't particularly entertaining?
I don't even want to being to think about the cover for that issue!

Maybe one of their "Turtle powers" is the ability to eat massive amounts of pizza and not get sick. Heck, maybe they have heightened metabolisms, because they're pretty swift for Turtles.

Some species of turtles are in fact quite fast.

We sorta saw what happened in "Once Upon A Time". Michaelangelo got pretty fat. He was always the hardest to keep in ninja training. It's not good to be eating pizza and such all the time but with al the exercise and bad guy beating they do it doesn't show much.

*Luckyday* · 07-19-2013, 06:10 PM

When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it would have serious questions like whatever or not they're cold blooded?

because Pizza is GOOD FOR YOU

Who says they don't, they'll all be dead by the time they're 25.

I'm sorry, but its true.
