Chapter Report #6
“Grains, fruits, nuts, and vegetables constitute the diet chosen for us by our Creator. These foods, prepared in as simple and natural a manner as possible, are the most healthful and nourishing. They impart a strength, a power of endurance, and a vigor of intellect, that are not afforded by a more complex and stimulating diet.”
Proteins
In this chapter, Ellen G. White talks about protein and how vital it is to our lives. First she talks about nuts and foods associated with nuts. How they are to be prepared with a certain “caution” and it should inexpensive. It emphasizes nature giving us plenty of food to digest and fulfill our needs of essential nutrients such as protein. Then she goes on tell us to be very careful in the dosage or proportion of nuts that we take in daily. Then she talks about eggs and how it can be a part of a diet if nuts and such aren’t available at decent costs. She says that it is that certain passion for flesh that we should avoid. Not necessarily the eggs themselves. She does mention that the intake of eggs is not to be confused with the intake of literal flesh meat. And she also recommends to not feed eggs to children as it excites them. I am not too sure what she meant by the words excites them. Then in an interesting twists of events, she says that cheese is to never enter our organisms as it is the worst thing possible, reading this really sucked because cheese is like salt to me but in the end she was guided by God.
