But they eat each day in Ramadan (at certain times), don't they? How is it even "fasting" and why should it be mentioned?

There are different kinds of fasting. They don't eat from sun rise until sunset during Ramadan. I'd qualify that as fasting.

Eating once a day or in a limited time period is called "intermittent fasting".
