The Swine Flu, like the seasonal flu, is caused by a virus. Viruses don't eat. Viruses are not alive. They each are more like a sub-microscopic sack of chemicals that is able to stick to your individual cells and make you sick. The viruses make your body create copies of them to make more virus particles to stick to more of your cells. All materials needed to make copies, and all the work to make the copies, is provided by the cells of the infected person (or other animal), which have been invaded and hijacked by the virus, so they have no need to get nourishment even if they could.
