A common theme in Japanese cartoons (manga and anime) is having a protagonist that has a big appetite and the ability to eat a lot. Eating more food relates to having more energy reserve and expanding more energy which can often be represented as having more strength. So you will find strong anime characters like Goku, Naruto, Natsu, and more eating more food than 5 people combined.
