Praying before eating is a ridiculous act.
Don't thank the farmer.
Don't thank the farm workers on minimum wage.
Don't thank the person that bought the food
Don't thank the person that prepared the food.
No, thank the one thing that has absolutly fuck all to do with it - the invisible man in the sky.
And if somehow this man in the sky were real, then why are you thanking it for creating a body that can starve, and putting it onto a planet where food is difficult to obtain such that one must be thankful for being fed. Bizare.
We had a prayer when I was a kid, which took care of complaint #4 above, at least:
'Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,
'Bless the food and the plate it's on.
'For the food that fills our tummy,
'Thank you God, and thank you, mummy.'
