“The fathers and mothers have laid the foundation for many of these diseases...until the people are reduced to their present condition. The people have laid the foundation of short life through their diet...with improper motives, and at improper times. I would be glad to tell mothers how to lay the foundation of health in their children....Latter-Day Saints who live merely to get ready to die are not worth much; rather get ready to live to the Glory of your Father in Heaven and to do the work He has given you to do.”
President Brigham Young, 1855
