These contemplations are not only for young people, of course - they are only specified as for young people because they are more accessible to children, in their simplicity.
This food is the gift of the whole universe: the Earth, the sky, the rain, and the sun.
We thank the people who have made this food, especially the farmers and the cooks.
We only put on our plate as much food as we can eat.
We want to chew the food slowly so that we can enjoy it.
This food gives us energy to practice being more loving and understanding.
We eat this food in order to be healthy and happy, and to love each other as a family.
