I agree, this is not a good idea.
Who is going to enforce this?
Anyone who is unethical and does bad things is not going to abide by a code of ethics.
Whoops, I didn't say there's NO code of ethics, just no special code.
Ethical standards are enforced by individuals, communities, and the law. Of course they aren't always enforced, but that doesn't mean they're useless.
For example, if a feeder routinely abuses women, the word will get out in the community and it will be harder for him to find new victims. Or if he beats them up, she can get a restraining order. Etc.

I was working on this for awhile with a few others and I finally concluded that there are no special ethics for feeders or feedees.
Feeding relationships require mutual respect, honesty, and the honoring of promises, just as non-feeding relationships do.

A regular large (14"
pizza is about 4000 calories, so it's really no big deal.
The article says "experts" are afraid people will think it's just for one person and eat more than they intend. But come on. It's a bit late in the day to start drawing lines in the sand.

i hadn't previously considered inherited personality traits may require some sort of early trigger, that's really interesting, thanks
Another example: a baby monkey will learn to fear snakes if he sees his mother reacting fearfully to a snake, but he can't learn fear of, say, potatoes this way. So it's just like you say...he has an inherited fear of snakes that needs an environmental trigger to activate it.

Back to the original topic:
I don't think religion matters much if it's a casual relationship. But if you're talking marriage/having kids, OF COURSE you want to marry someone with the same religion, especially if you have one of those "everybody-besides-us-is-going-to-hell" religions. You want to raise your kids thinking that there is no other choice. If the parents have different religions, they'll think, at best, that choice of religion is arbitrary and at worst " Daddy is going to hell and we're all going to heaven." Which is a pretty awful thing to tell your children, in my book.
So I don't blame people for breaking up over this.
NOTE: Personally I'm an atheist or agnostic, depending on how you define the terms.

A gallon of eggnog is 5488 calories, so yes, nice supplement.

While those things are part of feederism they are certainly not the "essence" of it.
