This, and most of the other 'lateral thinking' puzzles are a bit of a waste of time as there are usually (especially with this one) a very large number of rules or sequences of events which would give the outcome.
Many 'correct' answers have been mentioned here, but you have marked them all as WRONG as they are not the rule you had in mind.

BTW, MY Instructables get between 3 and 5 million views every week.
The statement above is true - How?
(Thank you Scott Adams for the idea.)

Jerry is a fussy eater...
PKTraceur says: May 10, 2009. 10:08 AM
He cannot eat foods without B and S next to eachother, in that order. -PKT P.S. I love your riddles.
Chicken2209 in reply to PKTraceurMay 10, 2009. 8:46 PM
thats what I thought! except I purposely put it in sb order that way no one could make a rude comment I think we should have a mutiny against this topic
Bert99 (author) in reply to PKTraceurMay 10, 2009. 10:24 AM
Your answer is incorrect, but thank you. I will try to make more riddles.
Chicken2209 says: May 10, 2009. 9:33 AM
he can only eat food with the letters s or b? and I dont think people care about being featured on your ible that really doesnt mean much
Bert99 (author) in reply to Chicken2209May 10, 2009. 9:36 AM
No, your answer is incorrect and I get over 500+ views a week.

im gunna side with the big dawgs . | . | .V
Kiteman in reply to Bert99May 10, 2009. 3:46 PM
By what count?

Your highest-viewed project has only averaged 100 views per week,

Most of your projects are only illustrated with googled photos.

One is illustrated with an utterly-irrelevant photo lifted from elsewhere on this site.

One consists solely of "watch this video that isn't mine".

I'd guess that most of your views are actually car-crash views.
KedaDibandion in reply to KitemanMay 10, 2009. 3:47 PM
Yeah, Bert's ibles aren't very...instructive.
lemonie in reply to Bert99May 10, 2009. 9:54 AM
What do you mean by "I get over 500+ views a week" - what figures are you looking at? L
Bert99 (author) in reply to lemonieMay 10, 2009. 9:57 AM
Never mind.
NikonDork in reply to Bert99May 10, 2009. 5:50 PM
Its not that we want you to leave Bert, We just want those precious minutes of life back that you took from us when we made the mistake of clicking on one of your instructables, or one of these abominations your putting everybody through now. Seriously. It all boils down to you wasting peoples' time. Stop doing that, and everyones cool.
lemonie in reply to Bert99May 10, 2009. 1:09 PM
I am actually interested ? L
NachoMahma in reply to lemonieMay 10, 2009. 4:42 PM
. I think you caught him in, uhhh, a bit of hyperbole (trying to learn the art of British Understatement heehee). See Kiteman's excellent analysis in his May 10, 2009. 3:46 PM post.
Bookdemon says: May 10, 2009. 8:06 PM
He suffers from Hemochromatosis??
paganwonder says: May 10, 2009. 8:58 AM
jerry is an octopus
NikonDork in reply to paganwonderMay 10, 2009. 6:27 PM
Jerry was a race car driver.....
Bert99 (author) in reply to paganwonderMay 10, 2009. 9:25 AM
no
NachoMahma in reply to Bert99May 10, 2009. 12:07 PM
. Sounds like a great answer to me.
Kiteman says: May 10, 2009. 3:48 PM
These frequent "puzzles" are not original, are certainly tedious, and I am willing to bet that one of your future "instructables" will simply be these questions with answers that you could not be bothered to work out yourself. Probably illustrated with pointlessly-irrelevant googled images.
KedaDibandion says: May 10, 2009. 2:36 PM
He only eats food that he can boil alive because Jerry is a sadist. He cannot hurt tofu because tofu is already dead, and he doesn't have a pot big enough for a whole deer.
ejp1087 says: May 10, 2009. 1:42 PM
He can only eat food that has an odd number of letters in it's name.
lobster = 7
tofu = 4
crabs = 5
deer meat = 8

P.S.-If I'm right, then he can eat deer meat because it's actually called venison (7)
PKTraceur says: May 10, 2009. 10:26 AM
He can only eat seafood? -PKT
Bert99 (author) in reply to PKTraceurMay 10, 2009. 10:26 AM
no
PKTraceur in reply to Bert99May 10, 2009. 10:28 AM
A hint?
Bert99 (author) in reply to PKTraceurMay 10, 2009. 12:46 PM
It would not be fair to give a hint.
KedaDibandion says: May 10, 2009. 12:42 PM
Allergic to a specific protein? Can only eat white meat? Can only eat what he catches himself on a small island with no terrestrial 4 legged herbivores or hippie stores?
