force feeding
Involuntary meal administration
Force feeding is compelling someone to eat against their will, typically by inserting a tube through the nose or throat to deliver liquid nutrition directly to the stomach.
The practice appears in contexts of hunger strikes, psychiatric treatment, and animal agriculture—particularly the fattening of geese for foie gras.
Figuratively, to force-feed is to impose information or content on an unwilling recipient: The algorithm keeps force-feeding me videos I don't want to watch.
