I Get Up Too Late To Eat In The Morning. Is It All Right If I Skip Breakfast?

When I was at Cooranbong [Australia], many that were great meat eaters came into my family, and when they would sit at my table, where not a particle of meat was served, they would say, “Well, if you have food like this, I could do without meat.” I think that our food satisfies our family. I tell our family, “Whatever you do, do not get a poverty-stricken diet. Place enough on the table to nourish the system.” ^{10Counsels on Diet and Foods, 489.}LASW 129.2

It is the custom to take a slight breakfast. But this is not the best way to treat the stomach. At breakfast time the stomach is in a better condition to take care of more food than at the second or third meal of the day. The habit of eating a sparing breakfast and a large dinner is wrong. Make your breakfast correspond more nearly to the heartiest meal of the day. ^{11Counsels on Diet and Foods, 173.}LASW 129.3
