Memulai would simply shift the emphasis of the action from the object to the subject. Hence, who is beginning to eat rather that what the person is beginning to do. I just thought of a mnemonic to help remember this ... the prefix, ME- makes the sentence about 'me'.

I appreciate the explanation, it's great to know what you told me, but since there are not contexts I don't see any reason why "memulai" can't be accepted for this sentence...

'Memulai' would need an object.
Meanwhile, 'mulai makan' is verb (start eating)
