If you offer a blessing on your food, Why do you do it?

Jesus blessed the food when he fed the 5,000. So I follow his example and use it as an opportunity to express gratitude for our daily bread.

You have 5,000 kids? You need a hobby....well....a different hobby.
True story, I was blessing the food one day and my kids said after the prayer "Daddy, instead of praying for the people less fortunate than us why don't we just give them some of our food? Theres always left overs." She had a point.

Imagine all the good we could do if we actually did things instead of leaving it to god. Don't get me started on temple work for the dead.
