Food is a great blessing from God. We must acknowledge the Lord for His favour by keeping us alive and nurture us through food and water.
Allah says in the Quran: "If you are grateful, I will give you more. But if you are ungrateful, my punishment is severe," [Surah Ibrahim verse 7]
Keeping in mind this important Quran verse about gratitude, we must focus on thanking Allah for His countless blessings, and food is one of them.
الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ
Alhamdulillahil lazi at'amani haaza wara-zaqaneehi min ghairi hawlim-minn-ni wala quwwah
Praise be to Allah Who has fed me this food and provided it for me without any strength and power on my part
