View source for Iolaus Is Always Eating

[[Iolaus]] enjoys food. A lot. And, in fact, he can be found eating or having finished a meal in several episodes.

== Exceptions ==
The exceptions that break the rule are as follows:
* Iolaus, sick of always eating oats, gives up his breakfast to a hungry [[Hercules]]. - ''[[1.13 - Forgery]]''
* Iolaus, astounded by [[Fish]]'s appetite, gives up his meal to a hungry [[Fish]]. - ''[[1.16 - Down and Out in Academy Hills]]''

==[[Young Hercules (Movie Pilot)]]==
* While sailing to [[Korsenia]], Iolaus complains about the 'child-sized portions' at dinner.

==[[1.01 - Treasure of Zeus]]==
* On their way to [[Cheiron's Academy]], [[Hercules]] and Iolaus stop at [[Kora's Inn]] to enjoy one last good meal before they have to endure months of Academy food.

==[[1.02 - Between Friends]]==
* At Kora's, he and [[Nysus Gaius]] can be seen devouring bread, presumably the last remnants of a larger meal.

==[[1.05 - Girl Trouble]]==
* After [[Jason]], fed up with the bad food at the Academy, declares a hunger strike, Iolaus (who seems not to have nearly as much of a problem with the food and finishes Jason's for him) comments that, with the harvest festival coming up and with all the food there will be, it's a bad time to go on a hunger strike.

==[[1.06 - Teacher's Pests]]==
* Iolaus grabs a stick of celery from a plate off [[Leonidas]]'s tray, and says "It's okay, I'm a waiter" before eating it.

==[[1.07 - Inn Trouble]]==
* Iolaus, in dismay that Kora's Inn is closed, cries, "But I'm hungry!" Jason responds, "You're always hungry."

==[[1.08 - Keeping Up With the Jasons]]==

==[[1.10 - Cyrano de Hercules]]==
* Iolaus is munching on something while he and [[Jason]] watch the interaction between [[Hercules]] and [[Galatea]]. When Hercules pulls Galatea away for a chat, Iolaus makes a bee-line for the picnic food, "Is that goat cheese?"

==[[1.14 - No Way Out]]==
* In one of the scenes where Iolaus and Jason are planning [[Lilith]]'s surprise party, they're both snacking on what look like dinner rolls.

==[[1.21 - Lyre, Liar]]==

==[[1.37 - The Head That Wears The Crown]]==

==[[1.40 - Iolaus Goes Stag]]==
