Justin's love of junk food - canon/fandom; beta comm?

[cowboystracker.livejournal.com]

I'm working on a couple of fics and trying to stick as close to canon as possible. I've read a lot of stories where Justin tries to get Brian to agree to order pizza. So my question is: Justin's love for junk food such as pizza, cheeseburgers, etc., is it canon or fandom?

Also, I'm looking for a beta. I have been told there is a beta comm that may or may not be active. What I really need is a beta who is familiar with Simon's 'The Other Foot' series since one of the fics is based on her series. If you know where I can find the beta comm or if you are interested in doing a bit of beta work, please let me know.


ETA: Justin's appetite is definitely canon. From all the comments and a few of the scenes that were cited, I have decided that Justin's love of junk food to be more fandom than canon. As vasilikii pointed out Justin ordered gourmet foods in the NY hotel in season 1. (I did check out the scene, just for the food of course. *smirk*) And more of us remember Brian eating more junk food than Justin. ;)

There is a tag for the beta comm. Thanks Court!

Thanks for all the help! You guys are the best!

I remember that, when she goes to Brian's office with Justin's things (108?), Jennifer says that Justin "eats like a football player". I always assumed that that's just because he was a 17 year-old boy, I figure he'd probably grown out of it later on in the series.

Thanks for the reply. Yeah I remember that scene, too; so I knew his appetite was canon. It was all the stories with him wanting/eating junk food that I was curious about. I always thought that Jennifer's comment just meant that she had a very large grocery bill each month. (I remember that from when my son was a teenager. Actually he still has a huge appetite but that grocery bill is his now.)

Guys don't grow out of huge appetites unless there is a medical reason to do so. While it's true that metabolisms run fast at a young age, they don't just slow to a stop in a year or two. I would think that if Justin had a large appetite at 17, it would still be there when he was 22, or 24. Just because we don't always see him eating, scenes like the spaghetti scene in the birthday episode show that he can still put it away.

I agree. His appetite wouldn't change and I know his metabolism won't slow for a number of years. I'm not going to give him have any kind of weight issues, just needed to know if the love of junk food was canon or more fandom. I know there are scenes where it's obvious that the gang have eaten, but since the dishes have just been cleared from the table as in the scene where Deb collapses in the diner, you don't know what they ordered.

I thought the spaghetti scene was quite indicative of Justin's appetite since he's still eating while the girls are clearing the table.
