Halo doesnt kill flood, it kills all life in the galaxy so the flood cannot feed on them, it effectively starves them to death
But it didnt starve them to death, did it? 100,000 years and theyre still around, WTF? (yes i did read the books btw)
I guess it depends on your definition of "starve." Someone can have AIDS, but you can keep it from spreading if you tried hard enough. AIDS isn't going to "starve," though.
That is exactly it... think about it, the Flood are like a nasty virus, one that mutates the body and brings about the most primitive instincts of life, feed and reproduce. Think of the T-virus from Resident Evil, but the flood are a biological organism that PHYSICALLY mutates the host body.And one thing about even host-less viruses is they can remain dormant for a VERY long time. So basically, if you really want to think about it, the Flood are a virus in a sense.
