God created the human body as a finely tuned instrument of enormous power, but it requires fuel to operate. To make sure that body gets enough fuel, God created in humans an appetite for food, which we call "hunger." So why would anyone ever ignore hunger and choose not to eat?Going without food for spiritual reasons is called fasting, a spiritual discipline with a long and important history in Christianity.
