With all the different problematics and confusion on the food industry more so in the nutritional spectrum. I find we have to recognice this as a divergent
problem, given every body seems to take sides on what makes sense to them, although sad to say it is mainly what has been though through mass media and as generations pass less and less our common sense, our biological constitution, valid non-bias scientific information and I think most important our elders. Given this evident divergent problem at hand I attempt to make a truce between all sides, as the solution to any divergent problem in the words of the late E.F Schumacher is ¨transcendence¨ through the power of reverence and appreciation, wrapped in the science of prayer. I have a strong believe on the idea of prayer being a science, firstly because we have a wrong idea of what science is, second we create a dogmatic believe that science and ¨spirituality¨ are direct opposites. Yet science is not but the empirical pursuit of knowledge and prayer was in the past the pursuit of ¨enlightenment¨ or ¨a direction¨. In contrast to what it has de-evolutionized to be at preset, a petition.
Regardless of your believes or lack of them, I make a case for and attitude of gratitude something we can all share regardless of your convictions. You don´t have to do it or even care for it, though I believe the lack of reverence and appreciation has led us to a denaturalized state, fundamental to the detrimental state as a race, society and planet we are presently facing. Michael Pollan, a man whom I have become a great admirator of his work and think is a brilliant as a man can be with the simple, effective, common sense nature which to me characterizes a true genius, recently wrote a book on 64 food rules called naturally food rules: An eater´s manual and makes complete sense from any angle you look at it. Yet I believe for what ever reason he might only know a vital aspect of eating was omitted, this being the science of prayer before eating. So now I present the following simple prayer or food for thought, give it what ever presentation you choose, better yet come up with your own and share it if you please. This particular ¨prayer¨ is taken from THE PROPHET by Khalil Gibran
Then an old man a keeper of an inn asked: Talk to us about Eating and Drinking
And he said:
Would that you could live on the fragrance of the earth
and like an air plant be sustained by light
But since you must kill to eat, and rob the new born of his mother milk
to quench your thirst, let then be an act of worship.
And let your board stand on altar, on which the pure and the innocent
of forest and 
plain are sacrificed for that which is purer and still more innocent in man.
WHEN you kill a beast say to him in your heart:
¨By the same power that slays you, I too am slain; and I too shall be consumed.
For the law which delivers you in to my hands shall deliver me in to a mightier hand.
Your blood and my blood is naught but the sap which feeds the tree of heaven.¨
AND when you crush and apple with your teeth say to it in your heart,
¨Your seed shall live in my body.
And the buds of your to-morrow shall blossom in my heart,
And your fragrance shall be my breath,
And together we shall rejoice through all of the seasons.¨
AND in the autumn, when you gather the grapes of your vineyards
for the winepress, say in your heart:
¨I too am a vineyard, and my fruit shal be gathered for the winepress.
And like new wine I shall be kept in eternal vessels.¨
And in the winter, when you draw the wine, let there be in your heart a song for each cup;
And let there be in your song a remembrance for the autumn days, and for the vineyard, and for the winepress.
I would like to close this article with the following words
¨GRATITUTE IS THE MEMORY OF THE HEART¨
