Yeah doctors do it all the time.
But it's not actually like "ground up food" it's a mixture of nutrients specifically made to be sterile (free from germs/disease/bacteria) and able to be processed by your body.
The thing about injecting something into your blood stream is that it is not digested. Digestion breaks your food down into things which your body can process. If you were, say, to somehow grind a sandwich down to microscopic particles and inject it you'd probably end up with kidney failure if not something worse like a blood clot in the brain because your body would be completely unable to do anything with the food. It's not just that it breaks food down into smaller pieces it literally can disassemble things on a molecular level and then send the good stuff into your cells and the bad stuff out your kidneys and colon.
Just injecting food crushed down small enough would cause kidney problems as they tried to filter every single bit of it out of your blood because your body would not be able to actually use any of it.
The doctor solution is to create an injectable substance which is essentially already digested. It's not food so much as the nutrients you need already broken down into a useable form.

Yes. The process is possible...but the food even if microscopic it's still not good for you. It can cause all types of diseases and could possibly kill you.
