Force Fed is an album by the band Prong. Prong themselves have said on many occasions that Force Fed is their debut album; they once denied that they had one album before this one, meaning that Primitive Origins is an EP.^[2]

Some songs on this record were used during the 1989 EP Peel Sessions, and some were taken from their EP Third from the Sun. Although the EP is no longer available, Prong still regularly performs the song "Third from the Sun", though it is actually a cover of a song originally by Chrome. Drummer Ted Parsons co-wrote some of the songs for the first time.
