"पूजयेदशनं नित्यं अद्याच्चैनमकुत्सयन् । दृष्ट्वा हृष्येत् प्रसीदेच्च प्रतिनन्देच्च सर्वश: ॥ पूजितं ह्यशनं नियं बलमूर्जं च यच्छति । अपूजितं तु तद्भुक्तं उभयं नाशयेदिदं ॥"

Food should always be worshipped and taken with the utmost reverence. The sight of food should delight one’s heart and fill it with joy. It should always be cherished whatever the situation. Food thus honoured gives one strength and energy. Food taken irreverently destroys both strength and energy. — 2.54-55
