> I read somewhere that this started because Jensen Ackles thought it would be funny if Dean just ate a LOT, and basically just stuffed a huge amount of food into his face in a scene where he was standing around in the background at a party. (I’m pretty sure this is in the season 1 episode “Provenance”, aka, The Evil Painting Episode.) The writers decided that it was _so_ funny that they started putting it into the show all the time, and he began to regret it. He said in the interview that he does end up eating most of the food because it’s just not always possible to spit it out.

Agreed. He’s so pretty and yet so willing to look silly.
