force fed
Made to eat
Force fed is the past tense of force-feed—to compel someone or something to eat, typically by inserting food directly into the stomach through a tube.
The practice appears in contexts ranging from livestock fattening to prison hunger strikes.
Figuratively, to be force fed something is to have it imposed on you without choice: We were force fed propaganda from childhood.
