Their bodies are conditioned to go without food as a result of years of malnutrition. Reminds me of the old joke about the donkey owner who was furious that his donkey dropped dead just when he had trained it to work without food.

If he had no food, then it looks like miraculous event. however, what is he looking forward to - more hardship if sanitary conditions don't improve asap.
