Prayer before a Meal

I attended a family gathering recently. Before we ate, it was announced that everyone should bow their heads in prayer... and what followed was a minute or so of fundamentalist b.s. I didn't bother to bow my head or clasp my hands in prayer. What do you do in similar situations? Are you offended? Should we be offended?
