A study on judicial rulings show a link between rulings and the time they have been issued between food breaks [1]. It appears that the more hungry the judges are, the less they show clemency.

Similarly, living in a Mulsim country, I have not observed the virtues that supposedly stem from religious fasting.

The Hungry Judge Effect has been debunked. Not that your larger point is not valid.

If you're going to claim something is debunked, a citation would be greatly appreciated.

I mean its still our choices whether to fast and hold our urge to eat even when we needed it the most (hot day, tired).

The same that its our choices whether to hold our anger and resolve things peacefully and objectively (someone messed up at work, we have the power to blame and fire them).

Ramadan fasting is just a part of islamic practice, just doing Ramadan fasting might not give any virtues. But Islam also teaches to treat everyone objectively, be patient, hold anger, etc.
