Among nutritionists there is an acute awareness of the problem of feeding the ever increasing population of the world. . . . If this population grows at the present rate basic changes are inevitable. When man feeds an animal such as a pig or a turkey upon the grains that he can eat, at least three fourths of the food value is lost. In other words four men can live upon plant foods directly, in comparison with the one man that can be fed if the food is first converted into meat and then consumed by man. CD-SG 43.4
Mrs. White well stated that, “the life that was in the grains and vegetables passes into the eater. We receive it by eating the flesh of the animal. How much better to get it direct, by eating the food that God provided for our use!”— The Ministry of Healing, p. 313. . . . CD-SG 43.5
