Chapter 18—Diet
General Statements

The Youth’s In-
structor, May 31, 1894
.

Christian
Temperance and Bible Hygiene, 79
.
333. Learn for yourselves what you should eat, what kinds of
food best nourish the body, and then follow the dictates of reason
and conscience. This is not a matter of trifling importance.—
Gospel
Workers, 174
.
334. Those who will not eat and drink from principle, will not be
governed by principle in other things.—

Cooking
335. The many dishes usually prepared for dessert should be
dispensed with.—
Unpublished Testimonies, August 30, 1896
.
336. The large amount of cooking usually done is not at all neces-
sary. Neither should the diet be poor, either in quality or quantity.—
Unpublished Testimonies, November 5, 1896
.
337. The proper cooking of food is a most essential requirement,
especially where meat is not made an article of diet. Something must
be prepared to take the place of meat, and these foods must be well
[77]
prepared, so that meat will not be desired.—
Unpublished Testimonies,
December 20, 1896
.
338. We need persons who will educate themselves to cook health-
fully. Many know how to cook meats and vegetables in different
forms, yet do not understand how to prepare simple and appetizing
dishes.—
