Counsels on Health - Ellen G. White

Let schools and sanitariums now be established
in many places in the Southern States. Let centers
of influence be made in many of the Southern cities
by the opening of food stores and vegetarian
restaurants. Let there also be facilities for the
manufacture of simple, inexpensive health foods.
But let not selfish, worldly policy be brought into
the work, for God forbids this. Let unselfish men
take hold of this work in the fear of God and with
love for their fellow men.
The light given me is that in the Southern field,
as elsewhere, the manufacture of health foods
should be conducted, not as a speculation for
personal gain, but as a business that God has
devised whereby a door of hope may be opened for
the people. In the South, special consideration
should be shown to the poor, who have been
terribly neglected. Men of ability and economy are
to be chosen to take up the food work; for, in order
to make it a success, the greatest wisdom and
economy must be exercised. God desires His
people to do acceptable service in the preparation
of healthful food, not only for their own families,
