Chow time refers to the scheduled mealtime when food is served. If we look for antonyms for the term "chow time," we could probably consider phrases like "fasting time" or "starvation period." Fasting during a particular period is primarily done for religious reasons, and it refers to the practice of not eating for a period of time. Alternatively, starvation period refers to an extended period when someone is deprived of food, either willingly or due to external factors. Whilst chow time represents a time to eat, other situations may envisage the exact opposite, when we choose not to eat, maybe as part of a fast, detox, or cleansing routine.
