Health Foods
225
Testimonies for the Church 7:114
From the record of the Lord’s miracles in providing wine at the
wedding feast and in feeding the multitude, we may learn a lesson of
the highest importance. The health-food business is one of the Lord’s
own instrumentalities to supply a necessity. The heavenly Provider
of all foods will not leave His people in ignorance in regard to the
preparation of the best foods for all times and occasions.
Testimonies for the Church 7:124-126
During the past night many things have been opened before me.
The manufacture and sale of health foods will require careful and
prayerful consideration.
There are many minds in many places to whom the Lord will
surely give knowledge of how to prepare foods that are healthful and
palatable, if He sees that they will use this knowledge righteously.
Animals are becoming more and more diseased, and it will not be
long until animal food will be discarded by many besides Seventh-
day Adventists. Foods that are healthful and life-sustaining are to be
[99]
prepared, so that men and women will not need to eat meat.
The Lord will teach many in all parts of the world to combine fruits,
grains, and vegetables into foods that will sustain life and will not bring
disease. Those who have never seen the recipes for making the health
foods now on the market, will work intelligently, experimenting with
the food productions of the earth, and will be given light regarding
the use of these productions. The Lord will show them what to do.
He who gives skill and understanding to His people in one part of the
world will give skill and understanding to His people in other parts of
the world. It is His design that the food-treasures of each country shall
be so prepared that they can be used in the countries for which they
are suited. As God gave manna from Heaven to sustain the children
of Israel, so He will now give His people in different places skill and
wisdom to use the productions of these countries in preparing foods to
take the place of meat. These foods should be made in the different
countries; for to transport them from one country to another makes
them so expensive that the poor can not afford them. It will never
pay to depend upon America for the supply of health foods for other
