Re: Do you still say Grace before you eat????
As for praying in public...I don't think we should go out of our way to distract others or cause a scene, but I think its important to teach our children that we thank God for our food no matter who we are with or where we are.
Remember Daniel? 
We were praying with a large group one time (holding hands), and the waitress had walked up in the middle of the prayer--when we were finished she had tears in her eyes. I don't think we should be embarrassed about thanking God for His blessings. It's one thing to be obnoxious, but its another to just simply be a Christian both in public and in private.
