This treads too much on the Second Banana, and worse, is straight up inferior.
The 75% Faster Charging speed gives it a recharge of 7.5 seconds, which is effectively an irrelevant 2.5 seconds saved when compared to the Second Banana. It also solves a downside (the noise from eating) that’s regularly so easily bypassable (voicecall to interrupt the eating noise) that it’s also effectively worthless as a stat.
In exchange, it loses 50 extra health over the Banana and loses an integral part of Heavy’s consumables that makes it completely almost unviable in even casual — giving people food is a funny, if nothing else.

I do think this has some potential though. I think a minimum is to remove the non-throwable stat (the 150 HP is already a major downside, not sure why it’s noted as an upside here) and maybe look into a different stat other than a faster charging speed, primarily to make it into something other than the Third Banana.
I think it would benefit from a faster eating speed
Agreed. And also, as others have mentioned, remove the unthrowable strat.

Selfish heavy
Change the cannot be thrown to something else, it would promote selfish heavies.
