The need of carefulness in habits of diet should be impressed on the minds of all students. I have been instructed that those attending our schools are not to be served with flesh foods or with preparations of food that are known to be unwholesome. Nothing that will serve to encourage a desire for stimulants should be placed on the table. I appeal to all to refuse to eat those things that will injure the health. Thus they can serve the Lord by sacrifice. {CT 298.1}

Der er behov for at indprente omhyggelige kostvaner i alle studerendes sind. Jeg er blevet instrueret at dem der går på vore skoler ikke skal få serveret kødspiser eller tilberedt mad som ikke kendes som sundt. Intet af det mad der opmuntrer til at ønske stimulanser bør sættes på bordet. Jeg appellerer til alle at ikke spise de ting som vil skade det sunde helbred. Derved kan de tjene Herren ved offer.
