Taupo seems to be short of Marmite. Is this just an us problem?

I don't know how my parents kept up with me when I was an early teenager in a growing spurt. It wasn't uncommon for me to eat 4 pieces of toast at breakfast, alongside 6-12 weetbix, go to school, eat whatever I had for lunch there, come home, eat another 4-8 pieces of toast, or 4 toast, 1 instant noodles as an afternoon snack, and then eat dinner as well. I think i was basically eating 2-3 loaves of bread a week by myself.

Oh yeah I don't think I was quite as hungry as you, but if I ate as much food now as I did then I'd be wider than I am tall.
