Milk and bread are our best
foods. Milk is our first food;
bread is next.
Man has been drinking milk
continuously throughout his life
-- from cows, sheep, goats
camels, and buffalo. Since we
still crave for this food, and
drink it (for after leaving our
mother’s breast, we go to the
breast of cattle the balance of
our lives) we should raise these
cattle under the most protected
eye for their good health.
THE PURE milk fat that we
call butter should not be mixed
with vegetable fats. It should
be eaten without mixing it, like
grandmother, and grandfather ate
it. Substitute foods are
destroying a great percentage of
good health.
Pure wheat makes the best
bread. Having the knowledge that
bread is easy to digest, we must
remember that to get the best
results out of wheat bread we
must cook it thoroughly done.
This is to prevent it from doing
too much rising, which will
cause the stretching of the
stomach and other intestines.
BROWN THE bread deep as
possible -- to a color of deep
brown. Do not make your rolls
and loaves too thick. Make them
thin so that the dough can be
cooked and browned through and
through. If not able to cook it
thoroughly, due to its
thickness, cook it a second
time, by the same process that
you did at first.
Add yeast, (a little more
than the first time) milk and
water to the bread, stir it and
let it sit and sour again. Let
it rise good, knead it and then
put it back into the oven to
cook a second time. This is
second cooking double prepares
it for digestion in our
stomachs. Cooking the bread a
third or fourth time makes it
still better.
WE KILL ourselves in the way
we prepare our food. We are too
hasty in the preparation of our
food. Some of the freshly-baked
white bread is fancy to the
eyes, but it will not do you a
fancy good. It will shorten your
life and soon kill you.
Take plenty of time to
prepare your food the right way
for cooking and then cook it
right, not in a haste.
THINK about the order of "hot
biscuits." This is a foolish way
of looking at and taking bread
for the stomach, fresh, as soon
as it comes out of the oven. No
bread cooked the first day
should be eaten that same day.
You should wait a couple of days
before eating it.
There is no such thing as
stale bread. Get away from this
belief. The older the bread the
better it is for your life. The
little molds on the bread are
not poison. Brush it off and eat
the bread and if you eat some of
the mold, it will not harm you.
BACK 50, 60 or more years ago
-- when people did not take time
to prepare their bread right
(many did not use yeast, they
used a kind of baking powder) --
they were made sick time and
again from the hasty preparation
and eating of this bread.
Many of our people fry dough
on top of the stove, "pancake,"
(slang, flap jacks). This bread,
which you put in your stomachs
to be digested, is hardly done.
If you could look at it working
in the stomach, it would look as
raw as it did before you put it
on the stove. This is hard work
on the digestive system
PLEASE cook your bread
thoroughly done. Whatever bread
you eat, never eat it freshly
cooked, i.e., the same day that
it is cooked.
If you toast today’s bread,
you should let it brown to a
deep color, almost a burn, so
that it will be easily digested.
