For instance, at least one of my alien PCs had to consume her body weight in food (daily!) to maintain her superhuman strength and toughness- she was a regular at places like Golden Corral!  Yet she also had allergies to certain chemicals in terran foods.  That meant every 24 hours of game-time, she had to eat a huge amount of food- AND risk illness- in order to survive & be super.</blockquote>
