To begin with one needs to understand that faith and food are practically indigenous traits.  The story of food begins very early in the book of Genesis.  Adam and Eve ate something they were not supposed to eat!  Yes, the story of eating begins very early!  No person alive today is alive except they eat something.

So before we eat, is it good to pray and thank our heavenly father for the food we are provided?  Yes.  Definitely.  Consider prayer for the people who harvested the food, the people who provided the machines to harvest the food, the workers who transport the food, the people who make the foods and possibility to get access to the food financially affordable and so much more.  If we are WISE about things, we can figure out how to gather food in the "wilderness."  Some have even gone to various restaurants, stores and other locations and asked for the left-overs that they will not prepare, thus saving money for their own food preparations and/or giving it to the poor as a means to overcome such burden.  Others have found ways to discern what foods are edible in the wilderness, such as dandelion greens, milk weed and created delicious dishes off of wilderness foods.

The Israelite were told to eat certain foods during the Passover.  These traditions continue to this day!
There are many stories about the Israelite desiring food in the bible.  God provided manna in the wilderness.  I have heard that God has provided such literal manna even today as a faithful group of people diligently serve the LORD with JOY.  Other families have been provided food through prayer as they receive an over abundance of cabbages and cornmeal from a neighbor whose heart was stirred to give such food.

Furthermore, the OLD TESTAMENT contains a list of clean foods and unclean foods.  These foods are listed in the time of NOAH.  So it is NOT abnormal to choose more vegetarian and Kosher types of diets even if a person is considered a gentile.  Furthermore, many studies have shown that more vegetarian diets are not only more frugal, but also healthier for the body.  The body really only needs meat foods once or twice a week.
