Interesting experiment, not the first of this type posted to our page. Of the benefits of two of the pillars of Islam, Fasting and the Hajj, are empathy for the less fortunate, placing oneself in the shoes of someone who has not choice but hunger, the removal of arrogance and pride - a sense that you are better than others, and the realization that the poor and destitute has a right to your wealth and your generosity. By fasting, the Muslim understands the experiences of one who has no food, it would also explain why the poor in the video are far more receptive to sharing with others who are in the same predicament.
