A shark feeding frenzy occurs when a number of sharks fight for the same prey. Sharks are usually solitary diners, and a feeding frenzy indicates why that might be. To an observer, it looks like the sharks lose their mind biting at anything that's in their way in an uncontrollable rage.

| Option | Description | Result[2] |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 'We all know what the problem is, so why isn't the government doing a #$%! thing about it?' decries Oliver from your TV screen. 'We need to stop feeding our children junk food, like those $%#&! chicken chizzlers. Maybe the government can't control what they have at home, but they can give them proper meals for school lunches. Force the schools to serve only nutritious meals and ban junk food from being sold in schools. It's a !%&$# no-brainer! The $#%!@ soda industry might not like it, but they can go suck a lemon.' | …school children across the country are staging hunger strikes to protest government-mandated salads. |
| 2 | 'Who says you can't control what kids eat at home?' comments @@RANDOMMALENAME@@, one of your golf buddies, as he practices his swings. 'You'd make it easier on parents if you mandated an official meal plan for children across @@NAME@@. I know I'd be much happier if a professional was preparing my kids' meals. Have you ever tasted my wife's cooking? Think about it. Hmm, that's probably a 7 iron shot from here.' | …children use fake IDs to purchase candy. |
| 3 | 'Healthy food and meal plans aren't the answer,' objects soccer mom and former Olympic athlete @@RANDOMFEMALENAME@@, proudly displaying her gold medals. 'The problem is that our glutinous hellspawn don't get off their lazy butts to exercise. We need more PE classes! Mandatory athletic training! More funding for after school activities! If we educate parents and children about good health and exercise, then they will get healthier and stay healthier. Not to mention they'll be the strongest and fastest in all of @@REGION@@!' | …meals are now followed by thirty minutes of mandatory exercise. |
| 4 | 'Here we go with the food police again,' sighs Burger Queen CEO @@RANDOMMALENAME@@ as he chows down on a double bacon cheeseburger. 'How about you health nuts stop telling me what food I can put in my body? These kids are perfectly capable of making their own choices. If they would rather enjoy one of our delicious burgers instead of some gross salad then who are we to stop them? Sure, they'll probably have a heart attack or two by the time they're my age, but it's better to die fat and free than old and controlled!' | …heart attacks are considered coming of age rituals |
