Buddhist monks give thanks for their meals by offering gratitude and chants before and after eat.

Описание: Buddhist monks give thanks for their meals by offering gratitude and reverence through chants before and after they eat.

Theravada chant also is a reflection:

Wisely reflecting, I use this food not for fun, not for pleasure, not for fattening, not for beautification, but only for the maintenance and nourishment of this body, for keeping it healthy, for helping with the Spiritual Life;
Thinking thus, I will allay hunger without overeating, so that I may continue to live blamelessly and at ease.

The Second Noble Truth teaches that the cause of suffering (dukkha) is craving or thirst. We continually search for something outside ourselves to make us happy. But no matter how successful we are, we never remain satisfied. It's important not to be greedy about food.
