Must you pray before eating snacks?

Saying "Grace" before meals is often reserved for actual meals that constitute some substance, and practically speaking, most Catholics do not pray before snacking. It is encouraged to do so, however, as all food, no matter of what quantity, is a gift from God and given from His bounty. What has been lost in modern times is that many foods each have a certain blessing. Many of these blessing have been forgotten as food is now readily available in supermarkets regardless of region or season and often people feel awkward about praying over snacks as is seems a bit over dramatic. In keeping with tradition, when people did not have such convenience as is now available in many countries, one should always say grace always before eating, if not the prescribed prayer, at least a short prayer of thanksgiving. Forgetting to do so is not a sin, but to omit it out of embarrassment or laziness seems a bit vain.
