> Mandatory Activities and Artificial Famine.

I think the increased athletic activities would be useful, but artificial famine is a sincere risk.
>Queen Sajar should incentivize playwrights and those who created the media of the nation to create a poetic or dramatic artform that incorporates physical activity, and circulate it through the people. By incorporating martial and athletic training into simple plays that could be circulated and enacted by the common folk, the people would even out their excess of food with community theatre involving acrobatics and other feats. The same program would allow doctors to volunteer to work with the commissioned playwrights to help make these plays have a slight educational value that would reinforce the coming reforms.
>Have court magicians and priests look into the excess to determine if there is any underlying demonic activity that is exacerbating the gluttony of the people

>Jevinder: Look into correspondence for a way to communicate better with your sister. Nothin that would be what could be used against your people, but the news your sister may not hear when a country or three away.

If we really want to go with Artificial Famine I think we could create an artificial scarcity by creating increased trade agreements by exporting the surplus.
