DEUT100 Eating on Yom Kippur is prohibited only to those who are healthy, while the commandment to seriously ill people is to eat. Thus, a person who is supposed to eat on Yom Kippur, but doesn't, commits as much a violation of Jewish law as the person who is supposed to fast, but doesn't. As Rabbi Israel Salanter taught: "A sick person who is very ill is exempt from all the commandments except one, "And you shall be very careful with your lives'" [this verse].
