Simple, straight forward question... "Can you eat enough at thanksgiving to change your wingloading and cause a stall?"

Yes you did, here is the proof:

Pic one: what caused it

Pic two: Karnowski stalling off G spot

You'd have to starve yourself, instead.

Getting heavier = higher wingloading = higher stall point

Getting lighter = lower wingloading = lower stall point

Excessive Turkey consumption would result in more forward speed at opening. So if you had a wall strike, you can blame it on the turkey. But not a stall.
