It's asking god to bless the people ("us") and the food ("these thy gifts") that they're about to receive from his bounty via jesus

At least that's how I understood it growing up, but who knows, I was just reciting it by rote as a kid and haven't thought about it in years haha

Finally! I hate driving anywhere anymore because everyone's on their phone. Not just local roads, but on the fucking turnpike for christsake!

I'm not sure how they'll enforce this though.

Interesting, I learned it as "Bless us, Oh Lord, and these thy gifts"

This is a recent problem. Do we think those purported fat genes just evolved in society over the past eightyish years, and spread so widely that, per the 2017-2018 NHANES data, 73% of American adults are overweight (30.7%) or obese (42.4%)? On a population level it's clear this cannot be genetic. There's been a cultural shift that has caused this problem, often thought to be related to processed food, less time to cook, and for some underserved communities, food deserts.

Look at how dramatically obesity has risen since the '80s:
