Free food? In the manga, there is the Kodachi intro story...but...
that's it pretty much, I think.>

I'm not sure...Ranma probably hates this form, true, but we can't
deny that he uses it to his advantage and needs it. The whole
disguised as Ryouga's fiancee/girlfriend thing, while incredibly
hilarious, showed how Ranma did this..then again, I guess this
is an issue of whether Ranma _likes_ that form or not, to which I
say that he doesn't, and tries to utilize it as best he can...IOW, the
old "I've got this, so I might as well make use of it" thing.  On this
evidence, the "free food" thing fits into this perfectly....

I'm actually wondering how Ranma would be living normally. I
mean, as Nabiki says..it's "interesting" with Ranma around like
this. Would things actually return to normal in Nerima between
the parties involved, just because a certain martial artist got
cured? I doubt it, IMO.
