(It's hard to find time to keep this up... so I'm going to continue forward with the idea that it's OK for it to be disorganized as long as I'm throwing something on the page. It's not too hard to just write about individual food items.)
As you take an apple, and wash it in preparation to eat it, remind yourself of the blessing of clean water. Hold the apple in your hand and get a sense of its weight. Cut it into slices if you'd prefer, or just bite into it. Enjoy the crisp burst of sweet-sour juice in your mouth (depending what type of apple, it may be more sweet or more sour). All of the pleasantness of this experience will also provide you with vitamin C, vitamin B-6 and plenty of fiber.
Think about where the apple came from. Growing on a tree, outside in sunlight and rain. The tree is pollinated by bees or other insects. Think about the time it took to grow, and the work picking, packaging and transporting this to you. Sometimes (mis)associated with "temptation", it should be re-understood as the pure gift that it is.
