force-fed
Made to eat
Force-fed is the past tense of force-feed—to compel someone or something to eat, typically by pushing food down the throat.
The term applies literally to geese raised for foie gras or to hunger strikers fed against their will.
Figuratively, it describes unwanted information or content pushed on someone: We were force-fed propaganda in school, I'm tired of being force-fed ads.
