With everyone seated comfortably in their seperate chairs and with the 'What If...' machine humming away, Fry reached out and grabbed the bendable microphone. He bent over and yelled into it:
"WHAT IF I HAD AN EVER-INCREASING APPETITE!?"
"Your butt would make a hell of a floatation-device!"
"Shuddup Bender!"
Fry grabbed the lever on the side of the machine and pulled. The screens inside everyone's helments went fuzzy...

"Fry, you need to eat!" said Amy.
New New York was bustling and noisy outside. The living quarters at the Planet Express Company were quiet and dozy. Nobody felt like doing much. Right now, Fry was not doing much either. To be precise, he hadn't been doing much EATING.
"What's the matter Fry? You have a stomach-ache, maybe?" Dr. Zoidberg came into the living-room, holding a cup of coffee.
"No I'm fine Dr. Zoidberg...I'm just...well...I dunno. I just lost my appetite."
"A shaaaame!" said Dr. Zoidberg, "And the New New York Festival of Feasting starts tomorrow, yes it does!"
"The festival of feasting?" said Amy, looking up from the TV which she had drifted over to, to watch.
"Yes!" said Professor Farnsworth, coming into the room, "The festival of feasting! To commemorate the great famines in the world and to celebrate the abundance of food now available! But that's what Fry knew all along! He's been fasting, haven't you, Fry?"
"No!" said Fry, "I...I don't know, I just don't feel like eating."
"That sounds serious, it does!" said Dr. Zoidberg, "You should take this, Fry. It will help with your hunger problems!"
The doctor reached into his coat and pulled out a bottle. "They're appetite increasement pills! To aid in the increasement of appetite!"
"Increasment' isn't a word, doctor," said Leela, looking up from the TV screen.
"Well that's what it says here!" said Zoidberg.
"Oh fine, I'll have one," said Fry.
"Have all!" said the doctor, "I can get plenty more."
