You don’t say Thank You Food often, do you? Nor have you ever written a Thank You Note to food, right? But isn’t food a big (huge) part of your existence? So why not thank it once.
We don’t value things when we have access to them easily or have it in abundance. We take our parents for granted – because well, they are parents – where are they running away? We take our health for granted – I am fit and fine, no disease, why do I need to take care? And when it comes to food – what’s for dinner? Same old stuff? Okay, I am ordering pizza! But is that all you can think about food?
Food is why we exist. You can think of it in either way. You may live to have food or you live because there is food. There are plenty unfortunate ones who don’t get to see the sight of food for days, forget about good food. Let’s say Thank You Food today.
Today we live in strange worlds. Food, which was once the central part of your life and the day moved around how to get your daily bread and working hard towards providing food for the family, that very same food is now being considered secondary! We are so busy with our work life that we don’t have time for food! Some people in the corporate world even boasts – “I never have time for breakfast and I skip it” Is that a right thing to do?
When I had joined work right after my post-graduation I was all steamed u for every meeting, for every assignment, for every presentation! There have been times when I have had only a few biscuits for breakfast while running for work – yes that’s the most convenient thing when you work for a biscuit brand! I have skipped those lunches too because we had to get the stuffs ready before the boss could call for it! But who gained out of it? NO ONE. It’s a disrespect for food. Skipping these meals meant messing up with the metabolism of body and that hurts.
People across the world don’t have access to clean drinking water, and then we feel we have some right to leave the tap open and let fresh water flow away. Isn’t water a big part of your life too? Have you been thankful for drinking water?
Then there are people who think eating is uncool, not eating anything and surviving on tomatoes is cool! I hope they know a balanced diet is better for the body and that waistline too! Say Thank You Food – the right food make you fitter mind you!
I am thankful I have access to food – good, nutritious, junk whatever form. We can provide for our family. Remember the days in school when you were taught to pray before your meal (or say Grace as the West knows it), it was a way of realizing how lucky we are to have enough food around, and how thankful we should be.
I have a wish to teach my son the practice of thanking food once he’s a little older to understand the concept of food. I can picture ourselves seated together and say Thank You Food!
Have you thanked food lately? No? Do that today!
