ingirieron una gran cantidad de alimentos altos en azúcar, puedes decir festín o banquete de dulce o de azúcar, "descending" implica que están regresando a sus niveles normales de azúcar

agree  Linda Grabner: me gusta "festin"; por el resto, lo que ha dicho Eva me parece bien, salvo que creo que diría algo como alboroto para "disruption".

[descending on a] sugar feast
[que] se estaban dando un atracón de azúcar / dulces


Explanation:
Creo que por ahí van los tiros, algo así como que se dejaron llevar y se hincharon de azúcar, después de haber pasado hambre... pero HACE FALTA ALGO MÁS DE TEXTO para saber si realmente están hablando de eso.

Me parece que lo de "descendiendo a una fiesta de azúcar" no hay por dónde cogerlo... ¿realmente crees que suena bien en español? A mí no me parece que tenga mucho sentido.
