      The article doesn’t allege starving, dehydration, or forced labor. Even assuming appalling conditions, with ~500 kcal per day, and accounting for 5-10 lbs of water weight loss due to dehydration, we’d still be talking about a daily calorie deficit of around -3000 kcal. That’s “run a marathon every day” territory. I don’t see how that is physically possible.
