Seriously??!!

Read this :

The purpose of fasting is not empathy. It is submission to Allah (swt) and following his command. Fasting is for Allah.

As kkf also pointed out, fasting is obligatory and taqwa is another level of piety.

Similarly, Zakat is obligatory and anything beyond that is more pleasing to Allah. (this is for the feast and claiming sacrifice part of your post)

Don’t belittle the people who are fasting just because they feast when it is permissible to eat. Their act is between them and Allah.

There are many hadith about not eating too much, here is one.

A good faith will not promote anything that will create disharmony. Many people eating too much will result in many people going hungry. Supply and demand equation will mean food prices will go up and poor won’t be able to afford sustenance.

Narrated Nafi’: Ibn 'Umar never used to take his meal unless a poor man was called to eat with him. One day I brought a poor man to eat with him, the man ate too much, whereupon Ibn ‘Umar said, "O Nafi’! Don’t let this man enter my house, for I heard the Prophet saying, “A believer eats in one intestine (is satisfied with a little food), and a kafir (unbeliever) eats in seven intestines (eats much food).”
