Ellen White Copied from Larkin B. Coles
Counsels on Diet and Foods by Ellen White pages 178-179: The less that condiments and desserts are placed upon our tables, the better it will be for all who partake of the food. All mixed and complicated foods are injurous to the health of human beings. Dumb animals would never each such a mixture as is often placed in the human stomach... The richness of food and complicated mixtures of food are health destroying. Philosophy of Health by Larkin Coles 59-60: Complicated food, especially that which is compounded with various kinds of condiments, is bad; such as very rich puddings, cake, and pastry of various sorts. Mince pies, wedding cake, and plum puddings, as they are generally made, should never be introduced into the human stomach--and the prohibition need never extend beyond the human stomach. For dumb animals could not be compelled to eat them.
