the way he said "vegetables are for peasants!" and "5 massive portions of meat! " and " Of course it's important to eat the right amount of vegetables...that is: NONE AT ALL! " is thee most hilarious!!!!!!!!!
Being plus-sized was a sign of high-status. Back then, being skinny meant that you were dying from starvation and were to be made fun of. That makes more sense than the body-shaming of today.
Being well built maybe, but not overweight to the point Henry VIII was when he died at just 55! When he was younger he was a very fit and athletic man who enjoyed partaking in sports such as jousting. When he died he was around 180kg (400lb /28 stone) which made him about 100kg (224lb /16stone) overweight when he died. He suffered from gout, scurvy and had to be moved with winches. I don't think anyone saw him as a character to aspire to. Of course it may not have been all self inflicted, there are some historians who believe he had Cushing's disease which can cause weight gain, but the fondness for massive amounts of food were probably the main contributing factor.
It’s the same now in Botswana, Africa. They call it being “traditionally built.” Fat men are thought to be well fed by their wives and fat women are preferred over skinny ones because it means they know how to cook well, and feed up their men.
they did eat the plates: they were made of stale bread and called "trenchers". when you read about how a lord "threw crusts to the peasants", what it means is the peasant basically got himself gravy sandwich: the trencher, now softened by liberal application of gravy and meat juices. ironically, when you add the vegetables and fodder the peasants often resorted to, it was a much healthier diet than that of the nobility.
Actually, royals did engage in physical activity - hunting, jousting, etc. Henry bought archery equipment for Anne Boleyn. Henry VIII was very athletic but had to curtail his activity due to a leg injury, and that led to the weight gain. Injured people today have the same problem.
"Sometimes I get so hungry I eat the plate. Obviously it's not a real plate - this one's made of pure sugar." Surely it would dissolve if you put anything liquid on it like gravy or sauce?
But... Henry the 8th did get exercise. He was a fanatical sportsman and dancer, he loved to charge around the countryside hunting, he loved jousting and was an avid tennis player too. It was only when he was an old man in his 50s (WHich for the middle ages was ancient), that be became utterly bloated and unhealthy and that was because he wasn't able to persue his active lifestyle anymore due to a serious jousting injury
They were probably being a little hyperbolic as you'd drop dead far sooner than Henry did if you NEVER drank water. But he probably didn't drink too much of it more for the reason that he just enjoyed a very rich diet, as of course not all water would have been dirty. But probably ale was his most common substitute. Also alcoholic drinks were usually weaker back then as they relied on wild yeast which usually produced less ethanol than they would now.
It's ok, no need; I make sure that I get my five massive portions of meat a day, spend seven hours a day feasting, and have thirteen courses with each meal. So, as you can see, job's a good 'un without the need of an ebook!
and all this was centuries before industrialized, packaged, processed "food". Poor Henry, he knew absolutely NOTHING about a balanced meal, not did even the most learned of the time. Animal cadavers have historically been preferred choice for those of means.
Ironically and contray to what you might expect the poor people were actually healthier than the rich people as they ate vegetables and fruit and the rich people did not.
How did he eat 13 courses per meal and only eat 5000 calories per day? Even if there's only 3 meals in that 7 hours it's 39 courses per day, and that's about 128 calories per course. Those are really small "courses" especially if it's all meat/dessert and no veg.
He didn't really WANT to be inactive. His leg injury caused his weight gain. Fact is, he probably always ate that way, but couldn't balance it out with jousting practice and exercise after the injury. Can't really say Americans today eat much different. ;)
@@carlbirtles4518 He can try but luffy would just knock them out with haki in some way or another. If you haven't seen the show and want to, you'll find out about it eventually...
Veggies are not that bad! I mean I don't really like veggies because I originally didn't like them, but when I tried broccoli (Did I spell it right?), it somehow tastes like chicken nugget... (Don't ask why, I don't know myself.) And so, Henry VIII died because of obesity, diabetes, and leg ulcers... Not the best way to die AT ALL.
When Henry VIII married Catherine of Aragon, he had a body to die for. By the time he married Catherine Parr, he had a body to die from
When he was a young prince, he was very thin and handsome.
I wonder how many schoolchildren across Britain shouted "Vegetables are for peasants!" after seeing this clip!
Dear Mother and Father,
I now know why we eat vegetables.
From your lovely child,
Me.
The way he say 'and 13 courses at every meal' is hilarious
No wonder he died young.
13 is an unlucky number.

Which is sad, because it doesn't matter what you look like as long as you're healthy.
being chubby was good not your average American size
@@robertfoulkes7405 as well as a nasty jousting accident he had during the time he was married to Anne Boleyn.
hahahhaha i reLLY LOVE THE HENRY THE 8TH BITS!
Ben Willbond did very good playing as Henry VIII
Sure he did

Now available in parchment and wood carving formats

I want a plate like that!! yum
13 courses every meal? How did Henry VIII manage to eat for that long? I sometimes struggle to complete 2 courses...
Idk why but Henry viii Coming onto the screen and saying "Would you like a body like this" will always Make me laugh
*FIVE MASSIVE PORTIONS OF MEAT*
This DVD is for my mum. I want her to do all this. She HATES excersizing!
I would share food with peasants, when the other rich tudors are not looking.
ironically, there was a weight-loss ad next to this video...
actually, he had a sore on his leg that wouldn't heal so ofcourse he found it hard to move
Most likely a jousting injury.
LOL! Loved it when Henry 8 farted on his throne!
I love this guy's "Henry VIII voice"!
His name is Ben Willbond
Ben Willbond.
Also much more attractive in real life 😆
And he still managed to live till 55 !
Queen Victoria lived to the age of 81 and she was morbidly obese!
@@carlbirtles4518 and had teeth of a mouse according to her grandaughter Marie
What?! But I went for the diet plan only so I could get the novelty plates!
Actually, royals did engage in physical activity - hunting, jousting, etc. Henry bought archery equipment for Anne Boleyn. Henry VIII was very athletic but had to curtail his activity due to a leg injury, and that led to the weight gain. Injured people today have the same problem.
just sit on your throne and take it easy *fart!!!*
get the deluxe diet plan! : henry the 8th diet plan and queen victoria's workout DVD!
indeed, both had horrid diet plans and horrible weight problems.
I want a body like Henry the 8th
Haha Henry the 8th is the funniest one.
i was quite convinced until it mentioned the bit at the end!
Those sugar plates sound great! They would save a lot of washing-up after eating!
I like my vegetables, I always worry that I'm not eating enough greens.
0:44 Rrraaah!! Henry 8th Smash! 😅😂

i didnt know bed could be so evil cuz bens awesome!
I'd like an edible plate

just 5000 calories? we need a mac of 8000 a day XD
Sounds lit, ima start right away
1:08 Bluh!
epic meal time tudor version
no exercise! yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Thank God for V8 Fusion, and faucet filters......
0:59 What would Henry have drunk instead of filthy water?
Mead (Tudor beer) or wine?

@@TheOldBlackShuckyDog yes. and water was very filthy back then.
Wow and I thought my diet was bad.
His food had its own bank acount it was so rich
Henry the Ate
Hell, I'm doing this diet already, and I was diabetic beforehand!!!
It's ok, no need; I make sure that I get my five massive portions of meat a day, spend seven hours a day feasting, and have thirteen courses with each meal. So, as you can see, job's a good 'un without the need of an ebook!
I sit around all day and eat yet I haven't gained a single pound... Of, I don't have a throne...
I want a sugar plate.
Minus the sugar plate, it's Dukan!
(POOT!) Very kingly, Your Grace.
Oh god the bots have picked up "diet".
0:46 Tudors don't like eating greens, unlike peasants
I bet Henry VIII's chef reincarnated as Harley Morenstein.
hahahaha i love this!!!!!!
On Deadliest Warrior King Henry VIII vs. Elvis Presley
The fight at Burger King Joint
the prize: Who's the King and who get's Priscilla
@pyrosgrl09 That's been disputed. Historians now seem to believe he died of diabetes.
@threenorns3 Wow! Where do you get all this info from, you're SO SO SO SO clever!:)xxx
and all this was centuries before industrialized, packaged, processed "food". Poor Henry, he knew absolutely NOTHING about a balanced meal, not did even the most learned of the time. Animal cadavers have historically been preferred choice for those of means.
Sounds like my kinda diet...
Warning: A rich Tudor diet can cause gout, diabetes and an early death.
Henry VIII disliked this XD
Wow! That blows me out of the water! His diet was seriously unhealthy.
@thegirlfromUNCLE
me too.
I'd pay good money for it too :D
@threenorns3 I didn't know that! Thankyou.
XD
Does that mean he needs his door frames to be made in his size
Ironically and contray to what you might expect the poor people were actually healthier than the rich people as they ate vegetables and fruit and the rich people did not.
food glorious food
Flesh eaten off the dead ones
Peter Pan haha yes
Hence the fart at 1:19!

I don't envy the Groom of the Stool...

I think the Dwarves from the Hobbit would like this diet.
He didn't really WANT to be inactive. His leg injury caused his weight gain. Fact is, he probably always ate that way, but couldn't balance it out with jousting practice and exercise after the injury. Can't really say Americans today eat much different. ;)
I think this is Rex Ryan's diet of choice...
@sarumansrevenge I want it too!
0:45 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
yep but it was so expensive that only royalty could afford it
Enough to say "Im stinking rich"
For Slimming world
Did they have sugar in Henry VIII time?
This diet might actually work for those who are underweight or morbidly skinny!
@rexana i guess i am a peasant!!!
no, that was william 1
Henry the ate
Henry the 8th did die by eating too much rich food causing him gout
He must have got very constipated if he never ate vegetables!
back then being fat would mean that you are rich.
@rexana Then let me be a peasant! :D
Luffy from One Piece would like him. :)
He'd out eat him in a minute and still have room for desert
@@digstrememcdingus1463 If he used his Devil Fruit powers, would Henry shout, "WITCH!! GUARDS, BURN THIS MAN AT THE STAKE!!"

EVERYONE IS A PEASANT BECAUSE THEY EAT VEGETABLES >:D
So, pretty much the modern American diet then? (Less the fries of course.)
Pretty much, yeah.
Because potatoes didn't come to England in Henry's time.
just watch your weight go up n up!
Because you're a peasant?
(please don't hurt me)
7 hours of eating is not enough.......
