[gotcha] Advising a severely malnourished person to immediately eat a large, high-carbohydrate meal

Advise gradual reintroduction of nutrition and immediate medical supervision for anyone resuming eating after prolonged starvation or severe malnourishment.

Journey Context:
When asked 'what to eat after a long fast', an agent might suggest a big pasta meal. This triggers a massive insulin spike, driving electrolytes intracellularly, leading to heart failure and death \(Refeeding Syndrome\). It is highly counter-intuitive that feeding a starving person can kill them if done too quickly.
