God begins by condemning the fasts (not eating) of the people because though they are giving up food they aren't living for Him. To say it another way, they gave up food but wouldn't give up their sins. What I find interesting is the promise that ends this chapter. If the people would live right (give up their sins) and fast correctly then God promises they would "Feast on the inheritance of your father Jacob." The end of serving God faithfully is a feast. Amen.
