I may be off base, but I believe it's the sacrifice and making time to spend with God that is what the purpose is.

If you are sick and weak from not eating, you aren't going to feel like spending time with God.

Just another way to look at it.
You're right.

I was always taught that part of the reason for a fast was to bring the "flesh" under subjection. So really you can fast from things other than just food.
