If you enjoy a vegetarian lifestyle, then the odds are
that one or more of your friends and family members think that your choice
is a poor one.
Yet, when one imagines the world one-thousand years from
now, whether you possess the imagination of an Asimov or an Einstein, one
sees a vegetarian world in which there is no longer justification for
animal abuse of any sort. Nor could there be reason of excuse for the
taking of dignity from any human animal.
"God's Nutritionist" was written for the vegetarian as a
means of substantiating his or her lifestyle. A plant based diet is
healthier than the standard American diet. Over one hundred quotations and
references from scientific journals convince the reader that a plant-based
diet is the one making most sense for the human body. Five hundred
quotations from Ellen G. White support the wisdom of that vegetarian
lifestyle. Let her words inspire you. Let the real science inspire your
friends and family to join you in eating the friendliest foods for the
body and mind. To order or read about "God's Nutritionist":

Today's New York Times (May 18, 2004) has front page
stories of a suicide bomber who killed Ezzedine Salim, President of the
Iraqi governing council while also reading that American Military Police
received orders to strip and abuse Iraqi citizens. In another section of
the same newspaper, I read, "An American soldier refers to an Iraqi
prisoner as 'it.' A general speaks not of 'Iraqi fighters' but of 'the
enemy.' A weapons manufacturer doesn't talk about people, but about
'targets.'" Language is used to dehumanize Iraqis so that they can be
abused and destroyed, and I wonder. This aggressiveness of meat eaters. Of
men who mark their territory just as predatory hunters mark bushes and
trees in their own territory. Is this characteristic behavior necessary in
my world?
I live in a culture gone mad. I read with pain the world's
events in the New York Times each day, and wonder how men who rule would
do the things they do by eating with compassion. Those who already eat a
plant-based diet would shake their heads in agreement with me. To eat
clean food is to see things with clarity. To eat easy to digest fuel for
the body is to have clean blood. To eat hard-to-digest meat, and
mucus-forming dairy is to constipate the spiritual judgment of man. I
consider the men and women who rule. The politicians. The decisions made
by those who have their internal organs continuously clogged with that
internal fog caused by mucus. Mucus caused by histamines reacting to
allergenic proteins. With clarity, those who enact laws and make
day-to-day decisions would be better able to lead.
In the Ministry of Healing, Ellen White wrote on page 345:
"Governors, senators, representatives, judges, men who
enact and administer a nation's laws, men who hold in their hands the
lives, the fair fame, the possessions of their fellows, should be men of
strict temperance. Only thus can their minds be clear to discriminate
between right and wrong. Only thus can they possess firmness of principle,
and wisdom to administer justice and to show mercy. But how does the
record stand?"
Instead, we live in a world and time in which there is no
clarity of thought. A world in which events seem to spin out of control on
a world with no axis.
Aristophanes wrote:
"You have all the characteristics of a popular politician:
a horrible voice, bad breeding, and a vulgar manner."
In Lysistrata, Aristophanes found a way to use a feminine
tactic to force Sparta and Athens to make peace. Place a copy of "God's
Nutritionist" on the night tables of those who make war. Help another to
eat a plant based diet for just a day. As digestion is made easier,
clarity results. Become a vegan for just one week is to be hit by a bolt
of pure energy. Energy containing universal wisdom.
The challenge is for us all to attain our destiny as
members of a race of humans who live healthy and peaceful lives. Lives
free of cancers and heart and bone disease. There is one place in this
world in which the majority of society eats a plant-based diet. That is
the place where more people live to age 100 than anywhere else. That is
the place where x-ray machines are rarely used, for breast cancer and
osteoporosis are rarely found. See: The Okinawa Plan by Wilcox, Wilcox,
and Suzuki.

By reading "God's Nutritionist" there comes an
understanding of how food makes the man. Of how human health and behavior
are so closely related to one another. About why as one treats one's own
body with compassion, there is a carry over to how one treats his or her
fellow men and women.
