Extracts from Unpublished Testimonies in Regard to Flesh Foods compiles Ellen White's counsels on meat eating from testimonies not previously published in book form. This focused compilation presents comprehensive guidance on flesh food consumption, drawing from personal letters, testimonies to individuals and institutions, and manuscript materials. The extracts typically address: health dangers of meat diet, spiritual effects of flesh eating, progressive abandonment of animal foods, exceptions for those whose health requires meat temporarily, and flesh foods' role in preparing for latter rain. White emphasized that diet affects spirituality—stimulating foods including meat excite nervous system, cloud judgment, and hinder Holy Spirit's work. The compilation demonstrates consistency in White's health reform counsel across decades while showing pastoral wisdom in recognizing individual circumstances.
Church members studying health reform, those questioning meat abstinence, health professionals, institutional dietary planners, and anyone seeking complete understanding of White's flesh food counsel.
