There should not be a great variety at any one meal, for this en-
courages overeating, and causes indigestion.
It is not well to eat fruit and vegetables at the same meal. If
the digestion is feeble, the use of both will often cause distress, and
inability to put forth mental effort. It is better to have the fruit at one
meal and the vegetables at another.
The Ministry of Healing, 302
Far too much sugar is ordinarily used in food. Cakes, sweet pud-
dings, pastries, jellies, jams, are active causes of indigestion. Espe-
cially harmful are the custards and puddings in which milk, eggs and
sugar are the chief ingredients. The free use of milk and sugar taken
together should be avoided.

Here is a suggestion for all whose work is sedentary or chiefly
mental; let those who have sufficient moral courage and self-control
try it. At each meal take only two or three kinds of simple food, and
eat no more than is required to satisfy hunger.

I advise the people to give up sweet puddings or custards made
with eggs and milk and sugar, and to eat the best home-made bread,
both graham and white, with dried or green fruits, and let that be the
only course for one meal; then let the next meal be of nicely prepared
vegetables.
Unpublished Testimonies, August 30, 1896 (Healthful Living, 81.5)
If your work is sedentary, take exercise every day, and at each meal
eat only two or three kinds of simple food, taking no more of these
than will satisfy the demands of hunger.
