Ken Osmond too skinny?

[Bonniegirl]

He is thin but healthy looking! Lots of young guys were like that back than! My brother was really thin as a teenager , but ate a lot and was healthy too!

There's one scene where he comes to the Cleavers goes up to the bedroom and the jacket is hanging off of him and his pants are so baggy like he has no buttocks but that was his build. You never saw him eat anything like Larry and Lumpy. I wish I was skinny like Eddie I'd eat a hot fudge sundae every week.

Oh I know!! My weakness is Mexican and Italian food, with LOTS of melted cheese! I'd eat it every day if I could!!!

Eddie does go for a sandwich enthusiastically, when Wally hosts a party. Unfortunately, it was one of the ones Beaver substituted a piece of rubber cheese in...! "Re-treads!"

When he gets his apartment, the boys find out he's been eating corn flakes cereal -- an inexpensive food.

I don't know if Ken Osmond qualifies as a "cutie pie" or "handsome hunk" -- descriptions used at this site for Randolph Mantooth and Kent McCord, respectively. But all three had a relatively slender build -- unlike Paul Michael Glaser, Robert Urich, or Guy Williams, for example.

I guess Ken is probably the slimmest of all -- and seemed to stay that way. By contrast, Michael Landon really bulked-up later on.
