Answers: Well he did eat spinach all the time.
No, he ate everything,and judging by the size of his forearms he took steroids too...
Then how do you explain Popeye's fried chicken?
what about the burger joint he always went to ?
he wasn't
Yep !! and he's a sailor and his girlfriend's name is olive... so i would say yes !!
no, i think he was just teaching kids to eat healthily...despite all the burger bars he went to
no he wasn't
Not really. Popeye was originally invented to promote the sale and thus the eating of spinach in America.

While you are viewing the above, you will see right of page some other Popeye shorts. There's one with a can of spinach on it which might be worth viewing.
Yes ... he did didn't he.
I'm sure he must have been a vegetarian.
Hi Deb, I believe that Popeye is a meat-eater, but with a loving fondness of spinach. lol , He beats pluto up, on a regular bases.
I doubt it.
Early references to spinach in the Fleischer cartoons and subsequently in further stories of Popeye are attributed to the publication of a study which, because of a misprint, attributed to spinach ten times its actual iron content. The error was discovered in the 1930s but not widely publicized until T.J. Hamblin wrote about it in the British Medical Journal in 1981.
The popularity of the Popeye helped boost sales of the leafy vegetable and the spinach-growing community of Crystal City, Texas erected a statue of the character in gratitude. There is another Popeye statue in Segar's hometown, Chester, Illinois, and a third in Alma, Arkansas, which claims to be "The Spinach Capital of the World," and is home to Allen Canning which markets Popeye-branded canned spinach. There is yet another statue of Popeye at Universal Orlando Resort in the Islands of Adventure theme park, which has Popeye-themed rides.
In addition to Allen Canning's Popeye spinach, Popeye Fresh Foods markets bagged, fresh spinach with Popeye characters on the package.
In 2006, when spinach contaminated with E. coli was accidentally sold to the public, many editorial cartoonists lampooned the affair by featuring Popeye in their cartoons.[16]
In the second season of the television series Heroes, during the season finale lead-in to the third volume, "Villains," the character Sylar regains his abilities, delivering the first line of the third volume, "I'm back," after he telekinetically grabs a can of spinach in true Popeye fashion.
Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits, a fast food restaurant chain, is not named after Popeye the sailor but allegedly after the character "Popeye" Doyle from the 1971 film The French Connection, who was in turn named after real police detective Eddie Egan, who was called "Pop Eye" because of his keen observational skills, neatly sidestepping copyright laws. The restaurant chain would later obtain a license for use of the cartoon character and advertise the name as Popeye's after Popeye the sailor, causing some confusion as to the source of the name.
Recently, Popeyes Chicken and Biscuits has omitted the use of "Popeye the Sailor" in promotions. One reason given by CEO Ken Keymer was that "nobody in their right mind equates fried chicken with a speech-impeded sailor"[citation needed], although nobody at all equates fried chicken with a foul-mouthed abusive cop. More likely the contract for use of the character expired and was simply not renewed in a cost-cutting move.
In 1990, Popeye appeared in an advertisement warning of the harmful effects of coastal pollution. Bluto is laughing as he carelessly dumps garbage over the side of his boat, to which Olive reacts in horror as seagulls and other sea creatures are caught in six-pack ring holders. Popeye punches out Bluto and cleans up his garbage; however, when some more plastic garbage sails by Popeye's boat, he says unsurprisingly, "I can't do it all meself, you know!" The message is that everyone must make an effort to clean up garbage in the ocean.
In 1991, a special series of short Popeye comic books were included in specially marked boxes of Instant Quaker Oatmeal. The plots were similar to those of the films: Popeye loses either Olive Oyl or Swee' Pea to a musclebound antagonist, eats something invigorating, and proceeds to save the day. In this case, however, the invigorating elixir was not his usual spinach, but rather one of four flavors of Quaker Oatmeal. (A different flavor was showcased with each mini comic.) The catch phrase, "Can the spinach! I wants me instant Quaker Oatmeal!" apparently failed to catch on with the general public, and the promotional campaign remains little-known.
one of my favourites,popeye and the spinach
No, he was a cannibal. Yes he ate spinach, but he cooked it in Olive's oil! Then washed it down with a nice Chianti.
