Riddle

I'm a word meaning eating well, but when one letter goes missing I mean starvation. What am I?

Choose an answer

A.Meal (real)
B.Feed (fed)
C.Diet (die)
D.Feast (fast).
Hint: It's a 2-word phrase with 9 letters, starting with "F".

Answer

Feast (fast).

Why this is the answer

Wordplay: removing the 'e' from 'feast' (eating well) leaves 'fast' (going without food).
