We are grateful for the blessings of nature and the power of the earth.
On our planet Earth, there is air, water, earth, and wind.
The sunlight pours down.
There are grasslands, seas, and forests.
There are insects, birds and animals. I am thankful for that.
The food you eat every day is 99.9999% a gift from nature, and you have not produced it yourself. You have only added 0.0001% of it to your diet. You have only bought it with your own money.
Yes, 99.9999% of you are alive and supported in almost every way.
You may be gritting your teeth and working with a sulky look on your face, thinking, "I have to feed myself and my family with my own efforts," but you are already being supported and kept alive enough.
Just try to relax your mind!
Yes, you are alive today (another miracle♥), you have had breakfast, and you can go to work.
Look, 99.9999% of the people around you are supporting you and keeping you alive today.
Air, water, earth, wind, sun, sea, forest, vegetables, milk, eggs, salt, sugar... Be thankful for everything that keeps you alive.
Even though we are supported by so much and most of our survival is thanks to the blessings of nature, isn't it arrogant to forget that and talk about "independence and self-reliance"?
Try eating one cherry tomato! You'll feel the power of the earth and the gentleness of nature in its sweetness.
If you realize how blessed you are and feel grateful, your eating experience will be upgraded to a much happier eating experience.
To eat is to live.
We should not neglect food because life is precious.
To neglect eating is to neglect living.
Be grateful for the pieces of life that have come to you in order to keep your life alive, and enjoy them.
Let's eat happily and happily
I feel the life in each and every grain of rice, and I praise the carrots, saying, "What a pretty orange color." While frying the onions, I sniff the delicious smell (^^โช "Thank you for the sweet smell," I say with a smile.
Then the pieces of life will be happy and will become even tastier. Seriously!
Be grateful and cook delicious food
Let's cook happily and happily.
Those happy bits of life on your plate will make you and those who eat your food happy and energetic.
Accept life with gratitude and happiness.
They are all living beings who have come to you because they want you to feel happy.
Thank you! It's delicious!
Itadakimasu = I'm here to eat.
Yes! You are at the top of a mountain where many lives have piled up.
Accepting life. Feeling the joy of being alive.

Food/eat
Let's eat happily. Let's eat with a smile. Let's eat together.
Itadakimasu!"
What a wonderful and beautiful word.
All over the world, before we eat our meals, we express our gratitude for the happiness of being alive in this moment with beautiful words.
France "Bon appetit" Bonametit - Enjoy your meal! Enjoy~!
Mexico "Buen provecho" Buen probetcho ~ Have a good meal!
Turkish "Afiyet olsun" [Afiyet olsun] I don't know how to pronounce it ((-_-;)) ~ Enjoy and have a good meal~.
English "Have a good meal" "Enjoy meal"
People enjoy "food" all over the world, regardless of the country, language, or food.
However, there is no other word as profound as the Japanese phrase "Itadakimasu," which means to be thankful for everything and to take life.
What a wonderful word we Japanese use!
I am moved. I feel proud to be Japanese.
We Japanese are such a serious and very disciplined people.
Japanese mothers have been making and feeding their families three meals a day, properly and regularly, with food that is good for the body.
Mothers these days, with their responsible jobs, prepare dinner before going to work in the morning so that their husbands will not complain about their late return home and their children will not be affected, and only heat it up when they return home.
Mothers who have forgotten how to "enjoy" food have started ordering their children to "eat" with the sole mission of "making them eat properly and regularly" in the most efficient way possible.
"Stop playing games, it's time to eat.
No games when you are eating!
When you are eating, don't get up in the middle of the meal!
Finish your homework and eat your dinner!
Finish your meal early and do your homework.
You're not holding your chopsticks properly!
Eat your dinner or talk.
Eat all of your food.
Eat it quickly. You only have one bite left!
Chew your food.
Eat your vegetables.
Eat your triangles.
You eat too much! You've had enough.
You have to eat more!
A succession of orders (laughter).
The smiles disappear at the dining table, which is supposed to be a happy place.
We are bound by fixed ideas of what food "should" be, and have somehow forgotten the most important thing of all: to be thankful, to enjoy the food in a delicious and enjoyable way.
Is "the way it should be" really "the way it should be?
Is Japanese common sense the most correct in the world?
In the first place, "You must eat three meals a day! is elevated beyond a fixed concept to a threatening notion, and even if you are not hungry, it threatens you with "Eat! even if you are not hungry. Eating" that neither the mind nor the body is seeking has no "appreciation," "deliciousness," or "enjoyment.
When we eat, our stomachs go "Goooo! and "I'm hungry! and "eat" when you truly desire food, you feel thankful, delicious, happy, and your mind and body are happy. It is natural for us to let our body and mind take care of nature's blessings and say "Itadakimasu! I have naturally come to think that it is natural to
It is okay to be ill-mannered.
It is okay if we don't eat three meals a day.
We should "Itadakimasu" in gratitude to the farmers who painstakingly grew the vegetables, the fishermen who caught the fish, the companies that processed the food, the transporters who transported it, the supermarkets that sold it, the mothers and wives who cooked the delicious food, and the countless other 99.9999% of people.
It is natural to straighten one's back in gratitude in front of the "food.
