blessing what we eat.

Any food we eat has come through the generosity of people and animlas and insects that plough or fertilize or transport this food. Always something has died, whether the animal that supplied the meat we eat our the countless creatures killed during planting, harvesting and transporting out food. This is a way to bless the food......

We are eating this food
to make us grow strong,
so that we can help people
all the day long.

Thanks to all creatures
who brought us this food,
and especially the cook(s)
who made it taste good.

We offer this food
to all teachers so kind
who help us to have
a strong happy mind.

With a strong happy mind,
then we are able
to help other people
strating here at this table.
