Diet in Different Countries
45
Some, after adopting a vegetarian diet, return to the use of flesh-
meats. This is foolish indeed, and reveals a lack of knowledge of how
to provide proper food in the place of meat.
Cooking schools, conducted by wise instructors, are to be held in
America and in other lands. Everything that we can do should be done
to show the people the value of the reform diet.
Testimonies for the Church 7:128-129
The Lord has instructed me to say that He has not confined to a
few persons all the light there is to be received in regard to the best
preparations of health foods. He will give to many minds in different
places tact and skill that will enable them to prepare health foods
suitable for the countries in which they live.
God is the author of all wisdom, all intelligence, all talent. He
will magnify His name by giving to many minds the wisdom in the
preparation of health foods. And when He does this, the making of
these new foods is not to be looked upon as an infringement of the
rights of those who are already manufacturing health foods, although
in some respects the foods made by the different ones may be similar.
God will take ordinary men and will give them skill and understanding
in the use of the fruit of the earth. He deals impartially with His
workers. Not one is forgotten by Him. He will impress business
men who are Sabbath-keepers to establish industries that will provide
employment for His people. He will teach His servants to prepare less
expensive health foods, which can be bought by the poor.
In all our plans we should remember that the health food work is
the property of God, and that it is not to be made a financial speculation
for personal gain. It is God’s gift to His people, and the profits are to
be used for the good of suffering humanity everywhere.
Especially in the Southern States of North America, many things
will be devised and many facilities provided, that the poor and needy
can sustain themselves by the health-food industries. Under teachers
[24]
who are laboring for the salvation of their souls, they will be taught
how to cultivate and prepare for food those things that grow most
readily in their locality.
