I've read that it is associated with humiliation and repentance. What is the connection between these things and not eating?
I suspect it has to do with the natural connection between intense sadness and losing our appetite. e.g. if we lose a loved one, we may not feel like eating.
Are we simply reversing the order? Stop eating in order to make ourselves sad over our sin?
