Regarding Charlie Anderson, what he forgets is that it was God who created the seed, warmed the soil for it to germinate, caused the rain to fall, etc. Charlie Anderson was, at best, a facilitator. A new version of the catalyst theory!

When you think about it, this is more of a "pre-grace" prayer. It doesn't mention being thankful, OR the food! "Make us thankful, and then after we are, we will thank you for the food." Maybe. The standard Catholic prayer is "Bless us oh Lord, and these, thy gifts, which we are about to receive from thy bounty, through Christ our Lord Amen." I said that prayer many many times in my childhood.
