I think we pray during meals to thank god that he has given us the capability to earnand eat healty food. I personally dont pray during meals although i dont start my day without praying in the small temple in our house.

I pray at each meal, and during the day. I have a lot of faith and love for God. I pray at meals for the blessing to have food. I pray for other people's needs daily.
I pray all the time, but it is from my heart, not a ritual prayer.
I think that there are two ways to worship God:
1...Man made rules how and what to do for a religion to love God.
2...Faith alone. A personal relationship with our Father in heaven. That is the coarse I take.
So, in all things I pray, good and bad. Total trust and love in Him. I hope I answered your question.

I only offer thanks during specific festivals and events. It probably would be a nice think to say thanks before every meal, but it make the people in the cafeteria stare a bit.

i pray because i want to thank God of the fortune that He gives me.
and it's also an "excuse" to remember Him.
i'm trying to remember God as much as i can..
every single pulse of my hearts, if i can.

when i was small, i would say I pray because its a family tradition to pray before meals.
But when Im grown up and knew the true meaning of praying beore meals..i still pray..just a mere thank you Lord for the food we eat today is good enough.
And its good to thank the Lord and be Grateful to HIm for giving you all the blessings.

I say Grace before meals. I think it is an important reminder of how much we have to be grateful for in our daily lives.
