Like why not a habit of praying before you drink water? You can live without food for longer periods than water so shouldn't we thank God for that?
Why not thank God for our house everytime before we enter back into our house after going out?
Why not thank God for our car everytime before we drive it?
Whats so special about meals that some Christians have a routine of giving thanks everytime before they eat?
-Because water is so much easier to find than food. Go out in the country and try it. Trust me foraging sucks. Hunting sucks. And it's difficult to have the patience to fish or trap when you feel like you're starving. Food is as much a blessing as it is a comfort.
-Probably should.
-Again, probably should, though I don't think God would really approve of cars, due to how they pollute.
-Because food is very hard to get ahold of when you don't have factories mass producing it for you cheap. Also, mealtime (for those who are lucky) is a time to spend with people who love you, in a way that a trip to the drinking fountain obviously isn't. Maybe that's part of the reason they pray at meals.
