Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James:4:17 So I will ask a question: If you know that meat is bad for you and with the diseases that are far worse now then in past generations would it be sin to continue to eat meat when one knows there is a more healthy way to eat? We have been shown in the Bible from the Garden of Eden and from Daniel lesson regarding eating the kings meat that to eat better does raise one spiritual life and health of the body. So if there is a better way to eat and a healthier way to eat would it not be better to do so? Here is an example from the Spirit of Prophecy: Flesh was never the best food; but its use is now doubly objectionable, since disease in animals is so rapidly increasing. Those who use flesh foods little know what they are eating. Often if they could see the animals when living and know the quality of the meat they eat, they would turn from it with loathing. People are continually eating flesh that is filled with tuberculous and cancerous germs. Tuberculosis, cancer, and other fatal diseases are thus communicated. {CG 382.3} What shall we eat? We cannot afford to buy the nut foods. As I preach the gospel to the poor, I am instructed to tell them to eat that food which is most nourishing. I cannot say to them: You must not eat eggs, or milk, or cream; you must use no butter in the preparation of food. The gospel must be preached to the poor, and the time has not yet come to prescribe the strictest diet. {CD 205.4}
