Five months ago, there occurred one night of which I still
have strong memories. I retired early and awoke at 2 AM,
unable to sleep. I went to my bookcase and pulled out
a volume that came to me as a gift in the mail four years
earlier. People often send me books. That's one of the
perks of being the Notmilkman. David Goswick from Cody,
Wyoming sent me "Counsels on Diet and Foods". It took me
many years to open the cover of this Ellen White book.
Once I began to read, I could not stop.

I stayed up for the rest of the night. In the morning,
I told my family that I was going away. I booked a room
in my favorite place in the world, Montauk, New York.
My room was overlooking the ocean. I was on the beach.
Each morning, I awoke to the sound of terns and gulls.
I was close enough to smell striped bass and bluefish
feeding upon baitfish before the sun came up.The pounding
waves helped me to sleep each night. I was in a world in
which I was inspired to study White's Counsels on Diet and
Foods. I read it a few times before copying down one
inspirational passage after another on my laptop. In one
week, I had finished my own book, which I sent off to my
publisher. I waited a few weeks, and then called Rudy Shur
of Square One. "So?"

"A work of art," he replied.

I've gleaned 500 pearls of wisdom, consisting of dietary
advice from the writing of Ellen White. Remarkably, most
of her words for this book were written in the nineteenth
century. "God's Nutritionist" also includes (one on each
page) quotations from scientific peer-reviewed journals
which support the benefits of a vegetarian lifestyle.

Get yourself a copy of "God's Nutritionist." Buy a case.
Let White's work inspire you as it has me. Let her words
and the journal citations stand as evidence for those friends,
families, and peers who mock those of us who eat a plant-based
diet.

Quotation number 500 of 500 of Ellen G. White
from "God's Nutritionist":

500

"I have written this to give you some idea of how we
live. I never enjoyed better health than I do at the
present time, and never did more writing. I rise at
three in the morning, and do not sleep during the day.
I would not use these health-destroying narcotics, for
I prize health and I prize a healthful example in all
these things. I want to be a pattern of temperance and
of good works to others. My health is good. My appetite
is excellent. I find that the simpler my food, and the
fewer varieties I eat, the stronger I am. In our family
we have breakfast at half past six o'clock, and dinner
at half past one. We have no supper. We would change our
times of eating a little, were it not for the fact that
these are the most convenient hours for some of the members
of the family.

Our fare is simple and wholesome. We have on our table no
butter, no meat, no cheese, no greasy mixtures of food. For
some months a young man who was an unbeliever, and who had
eaten meat all his life, boarded with us. We made no change
in our diet on his account; and while he stayed with us he
gained about twenty pounds. The food which we provided for
him was far better for him than that to which he had been
accustomed. All who sit at my table express themselves as
being well satisfied with the food provided." (1908 Letter)
_____________________________________________________________
"Mrs. White has spoken on the health question in a manner to
give entire satisfaction. Her remarks were clear and forcible,
yet prudent, so that she carried the feelings of the entire
congregation with her. On this subject, she always avoids
extremes, and is careful to take only those positions where
she is quite sure not to excite prejudices."
