Really good point, especially for those of us that live in a big city!

When I lived in Europe, I had to walk to purchase most of my food, and due to the smaller food storage I had, I had to do this almost every day, so not only did I walk after meals (the choices of television were very slim so walks were good entertainment) but I had to walk to obtain my food that I prepared! I also had access to a lot more freshly baked, home grown foods than I have here. I guess we take for granted our "supercenters" and convienence stores. Also as I age I do appreciate the "thanks giving" for my food, and try to instill this in my children. I also try to get them in touch with where their food comes from. We try to go berry picking during the season, go to the farms to buy vegetables or pick them ourselves. We try to bake as much as we can and grow our own herbs. It is not easy living in the city to do but we try! I think being in touch with your food source should be one more practice for healthy eating. Start it with your kids when they are young and it will be a practice that will stay with them forever! Thank you for some very useful tips!

We are setting the intention. * It's a lesson in gratitude--have you read/heard about the experiment with blessing the water and seeing the crystal configurations of the molecules? * It's an "ask and ye shall receive" exercise--asking that the most benefit be gotten from our food--and now--with pollution poisoning our food chain, we ask for protection. I now begin to understand the significance of the blessing our meals. As I age (like a good wine?), I begin to understand the ritual of “blessing our food” at mealtime:

I think the point is to not dilute your food with TOO much liquid...which I agree with!
