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!

It is canon that Justin eats a lot of food in general, including junk food. I don't know about pizza and cheeseburgers, though.

Brian eats junk food more than Justin in canon. Sounds like a fandom thing to me.

I think Justin's love of junk food is more talked about in Canon than actually witnessed. I remember cheeseburgers and grilled cheese being ordered at the diner, but not being eaten and I don't ever remember pizza. Maybe b/c he worked there and didn't eat there? Maybe it's just expected that teenagers have big appetites?

There are couple of "food" scenes that DO jump out at me though... the eating chinese on the floor w/ Brian - the fortune cookie scene.
The other two involve pasta... the "birthday" spaghetti at Melanie and Lindsay's and the puttanesca at Debbie's after the protest at St. James.

Even in the much talked about Jambalaya scene we really don't see him eat.

Justin can eat more food because of his age.... thats canon, but when it comes to crap junk fast food, Brian & Mikey do that for comfort/weed nights.

Its a fandom thing that Brian is a health nut who would never eat crap... he's a fat nazi, but we see him shoving whole eclairs in his mouth, eating pizza, KFC, burgers and lots of not so low cal stuff at the diner.

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.

Which episode had the eclair scene in it?
