The word you are looking for is planteration. It is rarely used. Gene Wolfe did so, however, in his Sword of the Lictor:

“If you knew how much I am forced to eat and drink for courtesy’s sake, you’d know how much I relish the company of someone whose hospitable offers I can refuse. I don’t suppose your fraternity has ever considered using food as a torment, instead of starvation?”

“It is called planteration, Archon.”

That is a way to torture someone, perhaps to death, by force-feeding them as though they were a goose being fattened for foie gras.

For example, instead of a normal Happy Thanksgiving wish, blogger Jim Ryan wrote in 2005:

Happy Planteration Day!

Just wanted to wish anyone reading this a happy recovery from Thanksgiving with the hope that a stomach pump wasn't required. :)
