Again, our youth, both men and women, should
be taught how to cook savingly, and to dispense
with everything in the line of flesh foods. This is a
very serious matter to the world. Thousands of
human beings who subsist upon the flesh of dead
animals, are suffering and dying from causes of
which they are ignorant. By painstaking effort they
can be taught to discriminate between a proper
healthful diet and the use of flesh meats. No
encouragement should be given in the training of
our youth to prepare dishes which are composed in
any degree of flesh meats; for this is pointing to the
darkness and ignorance of Egypt rather than to the
purity of health reform. Teach the students to
prepare healthful drinks from grains suitably
prepared to take the place of tea. This drink is
unhealthful in its purest preparation, and it is so
adulterated, mixed with other ingredients that
resemble tea, that is has become a dangerous
beverage.
