When Ellen G. White in 1864 began to speak and write on proper nutrition and a way of living that took into account nature's laws, average
life expectancy in the United States was 32 years; meals, served three, four, or five times a day, were highly spiced, heavy with meats,
rich gravies, fried foods, and a vast array of pastries loaded with sugar and fat. Milk was often supplied by cows poorly cared for and
sometimes tuberculous. Testing was unknown, and pasteurization was decades away. Except for salting and drying, the science of food
preservation was still in the future. It was in this climate that Ellen White, with a pen dipped in the wisdom and knowledge of the Designer
of the human form and the Author of nature's laws, called for a dietary program that was simple, healthful, nutritious, and appetizing. To
this end she spoke for fifty years, writing her views in articles, books, and personal correspondence. Nutritionists today are aware of
people's resistance to changes in their diet. Yet Ellen White succeeded in changing the dietary practices of hundreds of thousands who today
profitably follow these counsels, now well supported by scientific research. Counsels on Diet and Foods presents this rich knowledge in
topical order for convenient study.
