Yeah, when I was younger I was told to pray too but I never really understood why yet I would do it anyway. Since I'm older now, I do it on my own while understanding why it's important to pray before I eat, so yes, I always pray before I eat =]

hi there, i never pray before i eat, there is no religion in my family and among my friends. but i think it is a good way to pray before meals, at least it is a way to say thanks to god for what you have. i remembered that my mom always told me to finish my meal for that it is so hard to make a living, i have to cherish what i have. and i keep these words in heart.

When I was a small child I can occasionally remember praying before we ate our meal but it has been years since anybody in our household has even mentioned saying grace.
Perhaps the memories I have were of a joke or did never even happen, who knows? One day I will ask my elder siblings if they remember this time.

Hi! Yes, i always pray before i eat no matter which meal it is, or even a snack. I also teach my children to pray before they eat also. It has been taught to us since we were children, and it is something i pass on to my children and grandchildren.

My grandparents are very religious and they go to church every Sunday and when I was little I went to church with them,and whenever we get together for dinner whether it be a holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas,or just a Sunday dinner then either my grandmother or my grandfather will say the blessing before we can eat,and I know it is a good thing to ask God to bless our food,and we do not pray enough before we eat,and I think when me and my wife have kids,we will try to pray at every meal before we eat so our kids will get in the habit and do it when they have kids,just like we are going to try and start going to church,and especially when we have kids,because we will want our kids to be very familiar with God.
