I usually don't like it except for oomfy's work on deviantart.

Here's an article I wrote on the subject.


Why is there Feedism?
An Evolutionary Explanation

In "The World Until Yesterday: What Can We Learn from Traditional Societies"? Jared Diamond describes some traditional societies-- they don't call them "primitive" anymore--that have periodic food shortages. The people gorge themselves in times of plenty to gain weight to get them through lean times. In such places Feedism would be adaptive and be selected for.

Of course, in many societies (including modern ones) they figured out ways to store food so they didn't have to do the gorging thing. Storing food in a granary or whatever is usually much more practical than storing it as fat on your body. So genetically I figure we're a mixed bag. We have ancestors from both kinds of societies. So some of us have Feedist tendencies, some don't.

I imagine those tendencies will dwindle over the coming millennia since gorging and gaining is no longer adaptive. But we won't be around by then anyway!

I agree. You're young, and you have plenty of time to get fat. But ideally you should do it when you're independent of your parents.

There's no sure-fire way except to get fat and see if you like it. The risk in that case is you might not like it, and then you have a bunch of weight to lose. In fact you might never get back to normal.

What interests me: there are feedees who gain weight, don't like it, and then lose it. Then deliberately gain it back again. Some even lose again and gain it back again!

For example, consider KellieJelliBelli. She got fat three times and lost the weight twice before she decided to stick with being fat.

Of course it would have been easier if she'd just gotten fat once and been content with that.

But perhaps she had to make sure she could lose the weight if she wanted, and wasn't just caving to her cravings. I'd think one gain/loss cycle would be enough for that, but perhaps she had to double-check.

If anyone else has a theory on why one would gain and lose more than once I'd be interested to hear it.

Losing the weight is not the hard part--keeping it off is!

Gain another 30 lbs if you want, but be prepared for the possibility that you won't be able to lose it and keep it off.

But of course it's also possible you'll love it.

Great but I personally use a cheap brand and would reccomend doing so

How much can you put away in one session?

One reason for stuffing is to improve your capacity.

Any stories about this? How much can you stuff now compared to when you started? How much weight (if any) did you gain in that time?

Cool, but my question is: is this a trend? Or have lots of people been doing it forever? Have you been doing it forever?

Has a bit of a melted ice cream fad just started? Or has it been going on for a some time without me noticing?

It does sound like the ideal feedee food. Lots of flavors, very fattening, easy to drink quickly so you can take in a lot of it before you even know you're full, perfect for funnel feeding. Probably habit forming, since it would be hard to get that feeding rush from anything else!
