Comer carne
Ellen G. White wrote extensively about the practice of eating meat ("comer carne"), generally warning against it for both health and spiritual reasons. Here are some key points from her writings, with direct references: - She states that flesh meats and rich foods "tax the digestive organs, excite the animal passions, and weaken the moral and intellectual faculties." She warns that many animals used for food are diseased, and eating their flesh introduces "humors and poison of the worst kind" into the body (2T 404.2). - White emphasizes that in places where fruits, grains, and nuts are abundant, "flesh food is not the right food for God's people." She links meat eating to diseases such as cancers, tumors, and pulmonary diseases, and says it "has a tendency to animalize the nature" (9T 159). - She repeatedly notes that "meat eating is doing its work, for the meat is diseased" (HL 79.1, HL 105.1), and that "the practice of eating largely of meat is causing diseases of all kinds,—cancers, tumors, scrofula, tuberculosis, and numbers of other like affections" (HL 67.4). - White advocates for moving toward a diet based on "the natural products of the earth" and says that among those waiting for the coming of the Lord, "meat-eating will eventually be done away" (CTBH 119.1). - She encourages the preparation of well-made vegetarian dishes to replace meat, warning that reliance on meat encourages a "depraved appetite" (HL 97, HL 97.5). - She also notes that "meat is the most expensive diet that can be had" (HL 98.1). - While she acknowledges that in rare cases of illness or exhaustion, some may think it best to use meat, she urges great caution and says, "It has come to be a very serious question whether it is safe to use flesh-food at all in this age of the world" (CTBH 117.3). - White concludes that "the intellectual, the moral, and the physical powers are depreciated by the habitual use of flesh meats," and that "your safest course is to let meat alone" (2T 63.3). In summary, Ellen G. White strongly counsels against eating meat, especially in modern times, due to health risks, spiritual concerns, and the availability of better alternatives. She encourages a plant-based diet and careful preparation of vegetarian foods. References: - White, E. G. (1870). Testimonies for the Church, Vol. 2, p. 404.2; p. 63.3. - White, E. G. (1909).
