Unfit for Food
632. Cheese should never be introduced into the stomach.—

633. Butter is less harmful when eaten on cold bread than when
used in cooking; but, as a rule, it is better to dispense with it altogether.
Cheese [
Translated “Strong, sharp cheese,” With Ellen White’s ap-
proval, in the german-language edition.
] is still more objectionable; it
is wholly unfit for food.
634. Many a mother sets a table that is a snare to her family.
Flesh meats, butter, cheese, rich pastry, spiced foods, and condiments

are freely partaken of by both old and young. These things do their
work in deranging the stomach, exciting the nerves, and enfeebling
the intellect. The blood-making organs cannot convert such things
into good blood. The grease cooked in the food renders it difficult of
digestion. The effect of cheese is deleterious.—[

635. Children are allowed to eat flesh meats, spices, butter, cheese,
pork, rich pastry, and condiments generally. They are also allowed to

ural action, and enfeebling the intellect. Parents do not realize that

felt it my duty to make some remarks in reference to their eating. I
related the unfortunate experience of some at Marion, and told them
I charged it to unnecessary preparations made for the meeting, and
also eating the unnecessary preparations while at the meeting. Some
brought cheese to the meeting, and ate it; although new, it was alto-
gether too strong for the stomach, and should never be introduced into
it.—
