Eating with Gratitude

Eating with gratitude is a way of appreciating food and all the resources it took to bring it to our table. When we eat with gratitude, we are connecting with the source of our food, whether it be the land, the animals, or the workers who grew and prepared it. We are also connecting with the people who share our food, and with the experience of eating itself.

By eating with gratitude, we can bring more awareness and appreciation to our meals. We can savor our foods and focus on how they make us feel. We can also be thankful for all the good things in our lives, including the food we have available.
