Understanding Ellen White
Chapter Fourteen - Ellen White and Vegetarianism
Theodore Levterov
Seventh-day Adventists are known for their promotion of healthful living and a vegetarian diet. Although not all Adventists are practicing vegetarians, the denomination, in general, has upheld the vegetarian lifestyle as a better option for enhanced health and longevity. Several recent studies have shown that Seventh-day Adventists are significantly healthier and live on average seven to ten years longer than does the general population. 1 UEGW 199.1
Ellen G. White, one of the founders of the movement, has played a crucial role in the formation of distinctive Adventist lifestyle practices. Her major health visions in the early 1860s became a turning point in the Seventh-day Adventist attitude toward healthful living, including the promotion of vegetarianism. This chapter will give a brief overview of the history of Ellen White’s acceptance and practice of a vegetarian diet, and explores her perspectives. UEGW 199.2
