Why do kids eat like they are bottomless pits?

Answer 1

most children don't know they are full until they throw up; and then they just do it all over again.

Answer 2

Well...When I was a child I gave all to eating. My mother and aunts told me stories of how myself and the other cousins would consume food at great rates of speed. I remember some of those family get to geathers. We would destroy a watermellon like ants on cake. The bottom line is that we were growing and the food was oh, so tasty. Regards, Ammoconfidential

Answer 3

yeah sometimes, their metabolism is much higher, they are growing I remember eating and eating when I was a teenager cause I was hungry for the longest time, I think I was going through a growth spurt, but never gained any weight even though I ate like a pig, you should be happy it means they are growing. As long as they are eating healthy and keeping active so they don't become overweight they are okay.

Answer 4

Kids burn a lot energy when they play and are usually hungry soon thereafter. This cycle constantly repeats itself as their day progresses. Eat, play hard, eat some more, play harder,
EAT yet again, etc....

Answer 5
