I wonder how it affects life in countries where the population is almost 100% Muslim. They don't grind to a halt do they? Latter-day Saints fast, once a month every month and on other occasions for personal reasons whenever relevant and yet no-one is ever aware of it.

It is one thing to fast for one day a month or forgetting to eat during the odd day and quite another to fast for 30 consecutive days.

In any case people who don’t eat during the day because they are too busy still take on sustenance in the form of drinks.
