Hyperactive Metabolism/Playing With

Basic Trope: A character eats some food and is healed.
 * Straight: Whenever Bob eats some food, his HP goes up.
 * Exaggerated: The slightly crumb of bread will cause Bob to gain super-health beyond any normal mortal.
 * Bob can eat 25 whales in 5 seconds to get more health.
 * Downplayed: Whenever Bob eats some food, his HP goes up...eventually.
 * Justified: Bob actually does have a Hyperactive Metabolism or some sort of divine powers that allow him to eat food and be healed.
 * The food is somehow powerful and does indeed possess healing abilities.
 * Inverted: Food is somehow hurtful, no matter what anyone might think.
 * Subverted: Bob attempts to eat something in the hope that this happens, but he is proved wrong.
 * Double Subverted: ...but seconds later the food digests and he does get more health.
 * Parodied: Adventurers spend their entire years scouring the lands for mysteriously-placed loafs of bread and milk in order to be safe for whatever adventures they go on.
 * Crocker Tea Break
 * Deconstructed: Food is a high-costing medicine that is only used by professionals and is inaccessible by the average man.
 * Reconstructed: people realize they can grow food in their back yards
 * Zig Zagged: ???
 * Averted: Food does not have any powers. Food is just food.
 * Not only is food just food, eating it is a slow process like in real life.
 * Enforced: The writer intends to spoof most RPG tropes and as such makes sure that he puts this in.
 * Lampshaded: "Food can heal people?!?!"
 * You eat the APPLE and are refreshed for 10HP. Don't ask me how; You just are."
 * Invoked: Bob makes sure to eat all food because he's played many games where such logic applies.
 * Defied: "Careful now, make sure the food is normal. We don't want the hero I'm fighting to be able to heal himself halfway through our fight for the kingdom."
 * Discussed: "I don't care what happens in your stupid games, food does not instantly heal you, Bob."
 * Conversed: "In my game, the food always heals people for no reason..."
 * Played for laughs: "Five bucks says Bob can't eat Jimmy's Buffet out of buisiness!" "No bet. I've seen him eat."
 * Played for drama: People are starving because their insanely fast metabolism strip-mines their food and saves none of it as fatty tissue.
