Answer:
If you don't have functioning intestinal villi, you can become malnourished or even starve, regardless of how much food you eat, because your body simply isn't able to absorb and make use of that food

ANSWER
The most important function of the small intestine is the absorption of nutrients from food that passes through the tract. This large surface area allows for efficient uptake of nutrients. This efficiency is increased even more because each cell in the villi has microvilli on their surface. Hence the absence of this villis will decrease nutrient and digested food absorption by intestinal walls leading to severe nutritional disorders.
