me: I bet the little mermaid got crazy fat after she got married.
Victor: Why?
me: Because all she could eat when she was a mermaid was raw kelp and there’s practically no calories in kelp.
Victor: She lived in the ocean. She ate fish.
me: SHE WAS FRIENDS WITH FISH. She talked to every living thing there was. Even seagulls. She couldn’t even eat seagulls. I bet she was fucking starving. Have you seen her waist? That’s not normal. It looks like she’s had ribs removed.
Victor: Huh.
me: And then she suddenly becomes human and stops swimming – so she’s not getting any cardio – and then she discovers cheese. And bacon. And cheesy bacon. OMG, I want cheesy bacon.
Victor: You’ve thought about this way too much.
me: If I was the little mermaid I’d get so fat.

Now Belle, on the other hand, went from sitting around reading books (why you so skinny?!) to getting chased by wolves and dancing with the flatware. Yet, no weight change. I think the princesses need to rethink their images.
And BROWNIES. I bet brownies in the ocean are just gross and soggy, but on land? ALL THE BROWNIES. And no fishy friends get hurt either!

Cheesy bacon, cheesy tater tots and a vanilla coke = why I *am* a fat mermaid. Without the flippers. And without being able to breath underwater.
Which makes me convinced that breathing under water would totally be my super power.

Well, when Ariel became a biped, I’m guessing any food would have been “splurgeful” (to be splurged upon) based simply upon the premise that it didn’t need to be consumed while swimming in a cloud of EVERY OTHER SEA ANIMAL’S FECAL MATTER! When you’re swimming in an ocean of fish shit, I can imagine one’s appetite would be lacking.

Whoa, wait a minute now. No update on the why of the big, annoying, itchy pillow. Come on Jenny. We want to know. And I am now lactose intolerant, so no cheese, but bacon. Maybe bacon wrapped ribs, mmmmm
And THAT is why I could never stand to be a vegetarian. Because meat. XD But I’d totally eat any of her fishy friends. Flounder tastes really good! Also, I’d TOTALLY eat a seagull if I had the chance. I want to try eating a mammoth. Someone needs to re-invent mammoths so I can eat part of one.
You said bacon. Now I can’t think about anything else.
Wow. What DID she eat? I have never considered the question. Is there a penis picture on the cover of the Video, yes, I considered THAT. But never Ariel’s diet.
I would not in any way be bright eyed and chipper if my diet consisted of kelp. Damn Disney and their lies, lol.

Dear, Jenny,
I couldn’t find your email, thus I had to comment here. Sorry.

Thanks. You Rock Like Gaga. That’s all. xxx
So excited to see your book on Goodreads (tho probably not as excited as your were!) Love that website, and love your blog. Def got my vote!
I never thought about it before, but you’re absolutely right. The Little Mermaid couldn’t have eaten fish. She was best friends with fish. How do you say “Yes, I love you Flounder, but your brother is on tonight’s menu.”? That would just be wrong.
So many good foods to eat as a human. As long as she didn’t make friends with the cows and chickens.

I bet Hobbits would have eaten crispy, cheesy bacon if they’d really thought about it. You wouldn’t think crispy bacon could be improved, but some cheese added just might do the trick. Yeah, I seem to have LOTR on my brain despite drooling over Avengers currently. What does this have to do with your post? Absolutely nothing.
I hadn’t thought about it like that, but you’re right. She must have been starving! No wonder she wanted to leave the ocean, she wanted a sandwich that wasn’t soggy and full of salt!
Kellie @ Delightfully Ludicrous recently posted..So, it turns out I’m a hardened criminal…
Low carb it and you can cheesy-bacon it all the time. But I had to give up bread. There’s always a trade off.
My grandmother teaches Sunday School at our local church and asked me what is one food I eat that tastes bajillion times better with salt? I told her I’m not sure but EVERYTHING tastes better with bacon.
To which she rolled her eyes and said ‘GREAT…I’ll just tell my class of ten year olds to be the BACON of the earth, that’s juuuuust GREAT.’
It’s true though. Ariel would have never tried bacon. or cheese. or chocolate. She’d inflate like an emergency dingy day 3 of their honeymoon. Fruit SHMOOT, Bring awn the bacon!
Hikeezy recently posted..Of Fish and Family
Yeah, she entered a world with bacon (and the other benefits of fire, for heaven’s sake), food that didn’t talk, and an atmostphere not swimming in fish poop. And she left a world of cardio for a world in which she could not walk without tiny knives stabbing her feet with every step. So, yeah, sedentary. Must have porked out amazingly. Or been an incredibly active minx between the sheets. So, you know, PROFIT.
As someone gradually (but way too quickly) getting older, I can tell you that the process is like being The Little Mermaid, but in reverse. Every waking second, my doctor screams at me that I’m too sedentary, and my diet of amazing cheesy bacon is gradually (but WAY fucking too quickly) being replaced by raw frigging kelp.
And there’s never enough kelp.
And it tastes like fish have shit in it.
Fortunately, I have a partner in crime who loves me as I am, because there ain’t no red dress (or tuxedo or speedo) comin’ in the mail, and never was.
You are right–she must now weigh a ton.
And now I am hungry for a bacon cheese burger.

I think she was just dying to ditch the shell bra. Can you even imagine how that would chafe? Sometimes taking my bra off is the highlight of my day and I have underwire and straps and everything. Shells would be a bitch. Even bacon would be a secondary joy compared to getting decent support for the girls.
Watch The Little Mermaid 2! After 11 years on land and a pregnancy, she is still the exact same size!
So, I tried having this conversation with my SO… and it went nearly exactly the same, until the end. He steals my argument and tells me that if she’s talking to the fish and the seagulls she’s going to be talking to the pigs and the cows. Therefore no cheesy bacon. Plus, her ribs have already been removed.

I rather imagine all of the Disney Princesses suffer from some sort of eating disorder, among other things. I rather imagine that Snow White is on some sort of diet plan that totally avoids apple like the plague. Sleeping Beauty probably suffers from PTSD and suffers an episode every time she sees any kind of spinning wheel. Cinderella talks to mice. Rapunzel will have control issues the rest of her life. That’s all I got. I can’t remember the rest of them. I see a future post for my blog here, ah inspiration!
I don’t think it would be bacon that would finish off her thinness. I’d say chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate.

Dana @ This Silly Girl’s Life recently posted..Book Review: The Help by Kathryn Stockett
I actually think Ariel wouldn’t be able to eat any of that. Being as she was living off of Kelp for let’s say 18 years of her life, her stomach would be too sensitive to handle anything else, she would have to slowly start being up tolerances to these new foods so she wouldn’t get sick and throw up so she would probably lose weight.
(DAMMIT. You’re right. Now I just feel stupid. ~ Jenny)
How the HELL does Victor not know the Ariel is FRIENDS with the FISH? There is singing and merriment and friendship. For gosh sakes…You don’t eat your friends, no matter how delicious.

Belle never “falls for” an animal. He’s male, and she does not love him. As a male, he is merely a token, the possession of which establishes Belle’s dominance over other females. This is the only reason she wishes to possess him, as it is the only reason any female wishes to possess any male. Once one understands that all human social events are similar contests of dominance, human life suddenly makes a lot more sense.
You know, the four-legged beasties probably *would* be easy to eat if the cuddle factor weren’t involved because you were used to the cuddle factor being applied to slimy, scaly things like fish. Not that the cuddle factor stops me…

nicole recently posted..I Said No
The Little Mermaid totally ate pigs and cows. Land-dwellers fish. Sea-dwellers oppo-fish. Don’t ask me how they lure the animals to the shore, I am not a mermaid, but if I had to guess it would involve the Sirens. As aren’t they kind of like mermaids/mermen but just more evil? Anyway, the Sirens lure the land animals then the merpeople eat them. And I bet they do eat fish and other seacreatures too, same way people eat other mammals. Just not ones that have learned to speak English. You don’t put that much effort into training an animal, then eat it, that’s just silly!
But I should add, I don’t actually spend a lot of time wondering how she ate. Probably because I am spending a lot more time wondering why no-one has an issue with a Prince in his mid-twenties marrying a sixteen year old. Thanks for that, Disney. Could have added in the caveat “please not that even though Ariel is 16 for this entire film, the wedding took place a good ten years down the road, as before they got married Prince Eric made sure Ariel not only reached legal age, but also completed her schooling before becoming a Lady of Leisure, as her mermaid tail may come and go but a solid educational foundation lasts forever”.
So weird that Disney hasn’t contacted me to write movies for them.
Sound logic to me
