Famous Death Row Last Meals
Food Fights: The Biggest Culinary Scandals Of 2011
Even though this is a story about an animal and we primarily concentrate on food for people here at Slashfood, it could be used to teach a valuable lesson to kids whose eyes are bigger than their stomachs.
An 18-ft long python was rendered unable to move after swallowing a pregnant sheep whole. Pythons do not eat more than once per week and when they do, they can unhinge their jaws to devour the first thing they come across. This particular python was captured by firefighters in Kuala Lumpur where it was blocking the road after its meal and is now being held by conservationists.
In the past, pythons have encountered some serious problems when they have employed poor judgment in food choices. Last year, for example, a surgeon (also in Kuala Lumpur ) had to operate on a python to remove a queen-sized electric blanket that it had consumed. A snake in Florida actually exploded after attempting to eat an alligator.
The lesson is to really consider your food choices. Even though you may not explode after having that triple hot fudge sundae, it might be best to stick to a single scoop just to be on the safe side.

Eating so much your stomach feels like it's going to pop, then having one last thing to eat and all of a sudden the full feeling goes away and your hungry again. However, I DO draw the line at ingesting pregnant livestock...

I think it usually occurs with gastric bypass patients, although I suppose some neurological problem or muscle spasm could do it too.
However, it seems like it'd be unpleasant, since it's basically a stomachfull of raw food getting shoveled along too fast.
Also, reflux can cause a sensation of 'gnawing hunger' that isn't related to how empty the stomach is.
End of totally non-authoritative answer.
