Testimony Studies on Diet and Foods
Manuscript 105, 1902
Every hygienic restaurant should be a school for the workers con-
nected with it. In the cities this line of work may be done on a much
larger scale than in smaller places. But in every place where there is a
church and a church-school, instruction should be given in regard to
the preparation of simple health foods for the use of those who wish
[19]
to live in accordance with the principles of health reform. And in all
our missionary fields a similar work can be done.
The work of combining fruits, seeds, grains and roots into whole-
some foods, is the Lord’s work. In every place where a church has
been established, let the church members walk humbly before God.
Let them seek to enlighten the people with health reform principles.

impart to the people of their neighborhood the light they receive on
this subject.
The students in our schools should be taught how to cook. Let tact
and skill be brought into this branch of education. With all deceiv-
ableness of unrighteousness, Satan is working to turn the feet of the
youth into paths of temptation that lead to ruin. We must strengthen
and help them to withstand the temptations that are to be met on every
side regarding the indulgence of appetite. To teach them the science
of healthful living is to do missionary work for the Master.
Cooking schools are to be established in many places. This work
may begin in a humble way, but as intelligent cooks do their best to
enlighten others, the Lord will give them skill and understanding. The
word of the Lord is, “Forbid them not; for I will reveal Myself to them
as their Instructor.” He will work with those who carry out His plans,
teaching the people how to bring about a reformation in their diet by
