Your stomach and throat can stretch quite a bit over time. And overeating regularly affects the production of the hormone which tells you you’re full, especially when you’re eating processed bullshit that’s scientifically curated to make you want more food. The mechanisms our bodies have for regulation of caloric intake were really not balanced for the modern American diet. American kids who are genetically predisposed to obesity need to try way harder to avoid it than the average human. We stuff so much goddamn sugar in literally everything. Why is our regular bread so sweet? And once obesity sets in, the feedback mechanisms get really difficult to counteract. Shit sucks.
Edit: forgot to mention that some people just have a crazy high RMR and can eat that and much more without gaining much weight. Shit’s wild, but the flip side of that is that a lot of parents of kids with high metabolisms get side eyed like they’re starving their kids because they’re not gaining weight.
Depends what you're eating. 2000 calories of oreos or soda go down in minutes. 2000 calories of broccoli probably kills you lol

I think the USSR had some shortages, but maybe non-fatal shortages are good for people's health, better than total ad libitum
I’m going to stick with the countless eye-witness reports and first hand experiences of older people who lived through it over the American lie machine pretty much any day of the week.

Publication Date: January 8, 1983
Pretty hard to find 2022 data on Soviet Russia. Plus this kind of studies don’t tend to happen yearly.

Nice job cherry picking some random CIA document! Btw, it's from 1983, thirty years after Stalin died. You made an honest mistake, I'm sure.
Stalin used starvation as weapon quite effectively. 4-5 miillion died in the 1930s, mostly Ukrainians.
