Food

There are many poor people in this world.

Many of them can eat one time meal in a day.

Some people do not get even one meal in a day.

You are lucky

You are lucky you get good food every day.

You must thank God for this and say a little prayer of thanks before each meal.

Are you fussy about food? Do you eat only what you like/ do you waste what you do not like?

Food preparation

Father gets food grains from the ration shop.

Mother cooks food.

That is good for your health. So you must eat up everything without making a fuss.

Poor people

A poor child cannot be choosy. He has to eat whatever his mummy gives him. You too must eat whatever is prepared in your home and given to you.

Don’t waste food

Eat only as much as you can. Sometimes you take too much food on your plate and some of it goes waste. Think of those who do not have anything to eat. Then you will never waste food.

Follow the rules

There are some riles to remember when you have a meal.

• Do not spill food all around your plate
• Eat in a clean and tidy manner
• Don not chew food with your mouth open
• Speak as little as possible during meals
• Never waste food and drinking water
• Take on your plate only that much food as you need
• It is bad manners to wash your hands in the plate or glass
• It is a bad habit to rest your elbows on the table while eating
• Do not lick your fingers after eating a meal
• Do not pick your teeth at the table
• Eat quietly, don’t do noise while chewing
• Some things are not eaten, such as the mango seed, the skin of the vegetables, pieces of meat bone. Collect these in a separate plate.
