To my experience, even though I am only 13, I have reason to believe that it may be clogged. It seems to help when you plunge it for about 5 seconds. All I do is put full pressure on the plunger, rock up and down on it, and then finally release it from the toilet. yes, it is clogged, no doubt. try plunging, however it may need a snake if it still doesn't work.

Why Would a low-water consumption toilet overflow instead of filling to the rim and then stopping- can it be intentionally clogged?
I would intentionally overflow a public toilet by taking the lid off the back, then taking out the thing that covers the hole in the bottom. Then clog the toilet and just wait. The toilet will just flush and flush and flush and flush until it overflows. And then it will keep flushing. You could flood the entire bathroom with no one even knowing!

Will flushing food down the toilet clog the pipes?
Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. You're taking chances if you do. Same as putting a bunch of paper towels down the toilet. Usually the toilet will back up and overflow before the lines will clog as the p-trap built into the toilet is smaller than the diameter of the sewer pipe.
