Saying a blessing over a meal is commonly practiced in many homes by tradition or religiously. Ironically, while the
Western World is obese and diseased as a result of greed, the Eastern World is starving. There is no food shortage in real

before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. “But he who doubts is condemned if he
eats, because it is not from faith, for whatever is not from faith is sin.” Romans 14:22-23 (NIV)
