JK, this is purely out of curiosity. Can they actually force-feed the accused in the US? Is it a State thing? I'll admit that I haven't even tried to research that this evening, more I was just wondering if you knew from the top of your head.

I do not believe they can do it if you are judged sane and capable of expressing your desire. Generally they wait until you are incapable of refusing. In the US, you can refuse treatment if able but once you are unconscious, there is a presumption one would wish to be treated. It won't take long if you don't eat or take any fluids to become delirious or even unconscious. After that point, it's dinner time.
