What triggers it? Well, the lack of food ingestion. Say you want to starve yourself, you would need to stop eating. Starvation as we know it isn't a disease but rather a condition that many poor people have to suffer due to the lack of food. If there is no food to eat these people have nothing to ingest. Have you seen pictures of people in Africa, India? Even people who were captive during the Holocoust looked just like the people from Africa and India. They all looked malnourished because they were starved to death by the Nazis.
Well if your body doesn't receive any food- then it cannot get the nutrients (minerals, vitamins, energy, fat) it needs to function well. Eating is a need because if we don't, then we die.
Kind of. All the time, even when we sleep, our stomach slowly digest what we eat, turning them into basic sugars as energies for the body. When there is no more food to burn, the stomach send signals to the brain that it needs to replenish supply. It won't bother for a while, but when you don't eat for a long time after that signal, your stomach does a really nasty thing - eat itself up. I don't want to be that detailed on what happens next but I presume you see the whole picture.
Hope that helps! :)
