How do Buddhist monks reciprocate for the food and offerings they receive?
Buddhist monks do not reciprocate for the food and offerings they receive. People give them food and requisites as a way of practicing generosity, earning merit and overcoming their greed. If the monks reciprocated, it would not be an act of generosity, there would be no merit, and it would not help the givers overcome their greed.Monks practice generosity and compassion by teaching the dhamma to those who are interested, but they are not required to do so and it is not in exchange for food and requisites.The Buddha said that monks who are free from the defilements of greed, anger and ignorance eat alms without debt.

There are different sects within Buddhism, and they all have different requirements of monks and nuns. One sect requires them to only eat one meal per day, before noon. Others require monks and nuns to only eat food which is donated to them. Most of the sects agree that the enjoyment of food is something which distracts from a dedication to understanding and experiencing the true nature of reality. They don't have to eat terrible foods or starve themselves or eat this food but not that one. They just need to be mindful, and various sects have created different rules for what, when and how to eat in order to stay aware.
