A school in Japan apparently stopped saying “itadakimasu” and “gochisousama” before and after school lunch.
The reasons were apparently things like:
“Why should we say it if we pay for school lunch?”
“Religious consideration.”
Honestly, that feels very strange to me.
“Itadakimasu” is not a religion.
It is not about worshipping someone.
It is about thanking the people who made the food,
the people who delivered it,
the people who cooked it,
and the life that became our food.
Before eating, we simply say one word of gratitude.
That is all.
The idea that “we paid money, so we don’t need gratitude,”
or “it looks religious, so we should remove it,”
is much scarier to teach children, in my opinion.
“Itadakimasu” is gratitude for life.
“Gochisousama” is gratitude for the people who prepared the meal.
These are not words Japan should erase.
They are words we should preserve.
