Reasons Why You Need to Quit Meat Eating Today.!! (Counsels on Diet)

In these closing moments of earth’s history, God is calling His people to higher, holier living—physically, mentally, and spiritually. Our daily choices are shaping our character for eternity. One of the most neglected yet vital areas of Christian growth is diet. 

What we eat directly affects how we think, feel, and relate to God.The following article gives compelling reasons, drawn from the book "Counsels on Diet" by Ellen White, why every sincere follower of Christ should consider quitting meat today.

God’s original diet did not include flesh. It was permitted circumstancially due to a need after the flood and it's effects.

Ellen White writes, “Flesh was never the best food, but its use is now doubly objectionable, since disease in animals is so rapidly increasing” (CD 384.1). 

Today, meat is no longer safe or clean. Disease in animals has increased, and this danger is transferred to the human body. More than that, meat eating affects the mind. She warns, “The effects of meat eating are not only physical but mental and moral” (CD 389.3).

When we eat flesh food, we dull our sensitivity to spiritual things. Our moral judgment becomes weakened. This is not what God desires for His remnant people. 

“A diet of flesh meat tends to develop animalism. A development of animalism lessens spirituality, rendering the mind incapable of understanding truth” (CD 382.1).

God is preparing a people to stand without fault before Him, and health reform is part of that preparation. “Those who are preparing for translation into heaven should be careful in their diet” (CD 380.4). 

Quitting meat is not just about health—it’s about obedience, spiritual clarity, and readiness for eternity. Let us return to the Edenic plan and choose the foods that give life, not those that bring death.

Why not take personal efforts to reform your diet to follow God's plan!?
