What food-related behaviors are observed by Seventh-Day Adventists during the observation of the Sabbath from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday?


The Seventh-Day Adventist church adheres strictly to the teachings of the Bible. The Sabbath is observed from sundown on Friday to sundown on Saturday and is wholly dedicated to the Lord. Food must be prepared on Friday and dishes washed on Sunday. In addition, overeating is discouraged. Vegetarianism is widely practiced because the Bible states that the diet in Eden did not include flesh foods. Like the Mormons, the Adventists do not consume tea, coffee, or alcohol and do not use tobacco products. Water is considered the best liquid and should be consumed only before and after the meal, not during the meal. Meals are not highly seasoned, and hot spices such as mustard, chili powder, and black pepper are avoided. Eating between meals is discouraged so that food can be properly digested.
