[Quote No.23533] Need Area: Food > Food
"Personally, I have been very impressed by the slow food movement. It is about celebrating the culture of food, of sharing the extraordinary knowledge, developed over millennia, of the traditions involved with quality food production, of the sheer joy and pleasure of consuming food together. Especially within the context of family life, this has to be one of the highest forms of cultural activity." - Prince Charles
The eldest child of Queen Elizabeth II and heir to the British throne

[Quote No.23589] Need Area: Food > Food
"Thus, there is sensual eating and wise eating. When the body...suffers the pangs of hunger and accordingly you provide it with food, but without greed, that is called wise eating. On the other hand, if you gluttonously delight in purity and flavor, you are permitting the distinctions which arise from wrong thinking. Merely seeking to gratify the organ of taste without realizing when you have taken enough is called sensual eating." - Huang Po
Huang-po Tuan-Chi was a Zen Buddhist Master who died around the year 842 C.E.

[Quote No.25752] Need Area: Food > Food
"[Say Grace] The pre-meal prayer or blessing - saying grace - is a way to show daily appreciation for the blessings we can so easily take for granted - namely the bounty of nature and the work of humans, known and unknown, to provide for our and others needs. It can be fun, especially with a young family, to put together a 'grace pot' – full of pieces of paper with graces old and new on them. At mealtimes it is easy then to take turns to pick a grace and say it – and then allow anyone to add their personal spontaneous thanks for anything good that day, etc! Holding hands as it is said also adds to the feeling of togetherness." - Seymour@imagi-natives.com

[Quote No.25772] Need Area: Food > Food
"[Say Grace]
(Serving the food)
In this food I see clearly the presence of the entire universe supporting my existence.
(Looking at the plate of food)
All living beings are struggling for life. May they all have enough food to eat today.
(Just before eating)
The plate is filled with food.
I am aware that each morsel is the fruit of much hard work by those who produced it.
(Beginning to eat)
With the first taste, I promise to practice loving kindness.
With the second, I promise to relieve the suffering of others.
With the third, I promise to see others' joy as my own.
With the fourth, I promise to learn the way of nonattachment and equanimity.
(After the meal)
The plate is empty.
My hunger is satisfied.
I vow to live for the benefit of all living beings." - Buddhist

A Thanksgiving Prayer -
In the spirit of humility we give thanks for all that is.
We thank the great spiritual beings who have shared their wisdom.
We thank our ancestors who brought us to where we are now.
We are grateful for the opportunity to walk this planet,
to breathe the air,
to taste the food,
to experience sensations of a human body/mind,
to share in this wonder that is life.
We are grateful for the natural world that supports us,
for the community of humankind that enables us to do many wonderous things.
We are grateful that we are conscious,
that as intelligent beings we can reflect upon the many gifts we have been given." - Tom Barrett

"[Say Grace]
Oh Great Spirit,
Whose voice I hear in the wind,
Whose breath gives life to the world,
Hear me!
I come to you as one of your many children.
I am small and weak.
I need your strength and wisdom.
May I walk in beauty.
Make my eyes behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things that you have made,
And my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may know the things
That you have taught your children -
The lessons that you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
Make me strong, not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my greatest enemy: myself.
Make me ever ready to come to you with straight eyes, so that
When life fades as the faded sunset
My spirit will come to you without shame." - John Yellow Lark
