Our people are constantly retrograding upon health reform. Satan sees that he cannot have such a controlling power over them as he could if appetite were indulged. Under the influence of unhealthful food the conscience becomes stupefied, the mind becomes darkened, and its susceptibility to impressions is blunted. But because violated conscience is benumbed and becomes insensible, the guilt of the transgressor is not lessened. {3T 569.1}

Vort folk bliver hele tiden ringere på helsereformen. Satan ser at han ikke kan have en så styrende magt over dem, som han kunne, hvis appetitten fik frit løb. Under påvirkning af usund mad bliver samvittigheden bedøvet, sindet bliver formørket og dets følsomhed over for indtryk sløves. Men fordi misligholdt samvittighed er lammet og bliver ufølsom, bliver overtræderens skyld ikke mindre.
