Lucas looked at his plate with a frown.

He wasn't happy with what his family was having for dinner.

His mom noticed his expression and asked what was wrong.

"I don't like the taste of this food," Lucas grumbled.

His mom smiled and said, "Maybe you should try mindful eating."

Lucas was curious and asked what mindful eating was.

His mom explained that it means eating slowly and savoring every bite.

"By paying attention to the taste and texture, you might enjoy your food more," she said.

Lucas decided to give it a try and took a small bite.

As he chewed and focused on the flavors, he realized the food was actually delicious!
