Thank you farmer who cultivated my vegetables, thank you illegal mexican who picked them, thank you biologists for playing with their DNA, and thank you store for stocking and organizing all this fine produce we can feast upon, just sounds stupid. And i think they're supposed to thank God, you know for our daily bread, not Jesus. Humility is thanking him for what they believe he gave them through all there is. You can still thank the farmers and workers but its just silly, i doubt you do it.
Imagine you're god and you have to listen to a half-billion people thank him for their food three times a day - every single day for hundreds, if not thousands of years. Doing anything with that much repetition becomes so routine for a person that they certainly don't even mean it anymore. How insulted and annoyed your god must be every day.
Wait wait - let me guess, you're sincere every single time right?? Of course you are.
.... and god is real too. [/eyeroll]
