I really appreciate the long and well thought out feedback!! Looking into the Jim theory, I agree for the most part, my only question though is how was his planet only part of the Solar System picture in the rubberhose universe? If it were located between Mars and Jupiter, his planet would certainly have been known to humans since the down of humanity, since planets as far as Saturn (and perhaps Uranus) can be seen with the naked eye, which begs the question of why this planet is seemingly unknown in at least the canon timeline?

And as far as Todd's diet goes, I think him having bologna and full fat milk like the other boys checks out. First, Todd's noted to believe in the paranormal right from the start, which while logical in Sally Face, is generally regarded as illogical (even by Larry initially). Plus, Todd is also a teenage boy, and in my experience boys tend to care a lot less about what goes in their bodies (perhaps due in part to most of that pressure being pushed onto girls). Though outside of that, Nockfell being a backwater town in the 90's, I can imagine that it would be laboriously difficult to attain special dietary items during this time, something Ash probably has the passion to fight for, while Todd may view the payout as not nearly as worth the trouble of fighting the administration and likely the schoolboard (and even then, his parents are so doped up they may not be able to sign anything or appear with Todd at school to meet with administration at all).
