Eat, Pray, Love

Food rule #2 is absolutely my favorite, and I think it is the way everyone should look at food. This may even be the solution to solving family problems and the obesity epidemic.

So, without further ado: Rule #2

"You don't get fat on food you pray over.

This is from a friend who points out that meals prepared at home, served at the table and given thanks for are more appreciated and more healthful than food eaten on the run."

-Carol Jackson

AMEN! I take for granted that I am blessed with the luxury of knowing I will have 3 meals a day. I admit it. I think if we sit down to every meal with an attitude of thankfulness, it will change not only how we eat, but also how we conduct the rest of our days. 

Although I'm still in college and don't have a family of my own, I hope to conduct family meals in this way. I want to teach my future children not only that God provides for us, but that we should enjoy His blessings (including the food in front of us AND time spent with one another).
