I'm with Halx on this one, more or less. It is very difficult to say whether one thing is better or worse than another, because the words "better" and "worse" nearly always have subjective meaning.
As for survival possibilities of the tribe, starving themselves even when food is available can be a very good idea because 1) Their bodies will be running at a metabolism which is sustainable through periods of no food, and 2) What food they don't eat now can probably be eaten later.
I mean, it didn't seem like the article was saying anything about how they starved themselves to death, just they didn't eat when they could have. I think a lot of overweight Americans can learn from that.
