Religiously motivated fasting has this very interesting habit of showing up in the hungry gap of a given culture, which changes and moves based on the geography of the originating region. I suppose the relationship can seem less obvious in the case of exported religion. We've imbued it, culturally, with moral significance - and maybe it has some - but assumption appears to be wholly mundane.
This is one place where I think that religion gets it right, and alot. There was going to be less food. There are many ways of dealing with that. Raiding and cannibalism being raiding and cannibalism, I can see why a person or society would want to wrap the hungry gap positively, as a part of the fabric of the divine cosmos.
