Every meal is a gift. From the soil that nurtures the seeds, to the hands that plant, harvest, prepare, and serve—countless lives contribute to the food on our plates.
In many cultures, it is tradition to pause before eating and give thanks. This moment of reflection reminds us not only of our fortune but also of our responsibility—to care for the earth, support fair practices, and share with those in need.
Today, we say thank you:
- To the farmers who rise before dawn.
- To the rain, sun, and seasons that sustain growth.
- To the cooks who turn ingredients into comfort.
- To the communities that preserve food traditions.
- And to you—for choosing to eat mindfully and gratefully.
May every meal be a moment of connection, joy, and deep appreciation.
