Advice of a prophet
The system must be nourished. Yet we do not hesitate to say that flesh
meat is not necessary for health or strength. If used it is because a
depraved appetite craves it. Its use excites the animal propensities to
increased activity and strengthens the animal passions. When the
animal propensities are increased, the intellectual and moral powers are
decreased. -- Ellen White, Testimonies Vol II, p 63.
What are these animal passions?
Sexual excess will effectually destroy a love for devotional exercises,
will take from the brain the substance needed to nourish the system,
and will most effectively exhaust the vitality. No woman should aid
her husband in this work of self-destruction. She will not do it if
she is enlightened and has true love for him. The more the animal
passions are indulged, the stronger do they become, and the more
violent will be their clamors for indulgence. -- Ellen White, Marital
Duties and Privileges, pp 124-125.
The meat industry's marketers should love this one. If this is the
truth, who needs Viagra?

Seasoning salt's ``magic''
While munching in the kitchen, i read the label of a container of
Johnny's Seasoning Salt, which proclaims ``It's pure magic.''
The second ingredient, directly after salt, was some substance named
monosodium glutamate. Magic indeed!
