>> "I've wondered about the combatant affect of intention and prayer into our food. If you ask that the vibration of your food be met to serve your bodies' needs 'in the most perfect and positive way' - ain't that gonna help?" <<
this works, and can work surprisingly well... however, the beneficial affects come down to belief, faith, and intent.
If you casually or habitually pray over your food, without any real meaning or intent (intent is a big one - do not underestimate it), it will have little or no effect... if it is thought as a matter of habit... and perhaps a "pain" to get through because it is the "social" thing to do, it could have a negative affect.
We do not pray to some guy\gal in the sky, we do not pray to false idols, Jesus, Mary, or any number of Saints... we pray for the ubiquitous, omnipresent energy, or life force that is God, of which we are a part... to raise up the energy value of the food and for the fire in our bellies to make it available to nourish our body, mind, and soul.
BTW - people who have been known to have a real "healing" touch, seem to live for the most part, within a life of prayer and good intent whether they believe in a particular faith/"God" or not.
Many of these "healing" touch people also fight off demons, sometimes many of them, constantly and alone... others would not/do not understand.
