Eating is a mashal
We spend so much time eating. One hour after a meal we already are thinking about the next meal. Why is the world made this way? We need Hashem for everything. The earth has to spin at this exact speed or we fall down. The sun has to be exactly as far away from the earth as it is or we burn or we freeze. Our ears have to work just right so we keep our balance. Our neighbors have to be civilized. But we take all that for granted. Eating was made obvious so that we learn the lesson that all is from Hashem and apply it to everything else. There are many brochos surrounding eating but there could have been on everything, like breathing. Eating is representative. When we obey Hashem's will that's like making a bracha on everything else.
