What is the meaning of "Stuff your face and tell the truth"? Not the literal meaning, just what it implies.?

and I think it has something to do with a facial expression. I came across it in an interview of the Wolf Pack in New Moon movie.

    "Shut your face and tell the truth" means stop lying and be honest. "Stuff your face" means eat. I've never heard your phrase before.

    I think, without having seen the movie, that "stuff your face" means the same as "shut your face" or "stuff it" meaning stop talking a lot, stop the flow of words, and tell the truth. I assume the person being addressed was babbling and making excuses.

    Stuff your face : to eat a lot of food or too much food; to give sb a lot or too much to eat

    and it means that:

    full your stomache with this food and in turn tell me the truth.

    stuff your face (very informal)idiom

    to eat a lot of food (usually in continuous tenses) We've been stuffing our faces with Susannah's delicious chocolate cake.

    See know stuff, strut stuff

    See also: face, stuff

    ( feed one's face) it gives same meaning of stuff one's face.

    . Eat greedily, overeat, as in When Dave comes home he's apt to feed his face, or She won't lose any weight if she keeps stuffing her face like that
