Franklin D. Roosevelt played a crucial role in enhancing food safety regulations through the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act of 1938. Roosevelt's administration was motivated by a desire to protect consumers and ensure that food and drugs were safe and accurately labeled. So, he was definitely concerned about food safety and took action to address these issues.
FDR was also an Anglican, a high church member of the Episcopal Church before it became dominated by liberal theology in the 1960s and 1970s. Indeed, he was so high church as to be Anglo-Catholic, and thus along with a few other Anglo-Catholic Presidents, was as close as the US came to a Roman Catholic president until the election of JFK. And there is nothing to suggest that FDR either favored or adhered to the dietary regulations of Ellen G. White, or even the much less strict regulations of Judaism, which openly permit the consumption of meat, cakes and many other things which Adventists find objectionable.
Just like God wants us to eat right and sets up guidelines for us in the Bible about what is and what is not safe to eat.
That’s simply untrue. Other than a hard and fast rule against eating blood, food sacrificed to idols and the meat of animals that have been strangled, which was implemented by the Holy Apostles in Acts 15, there are no dietary restrictions on Gentile Christians , and furthermore it seems doubtful that there are any restrictions on Jewish converts to Christianity (if there are any, I haven’t found them in any of the ancient canons of the early church that are compiled in The Rudder of St. Nicodemus the Hagiorite; I am about to begin a survey of the Roman Catholic decretals, which were a similiar nomocanon, or collection of canon law, that predated the RCC adopting its own revised code of canon law after the schism with the Eastern Orthodox, and which are known to heavily overlap with the Rudder, differing mainly in terms of having some canons that the East never accepted vis a vis clerical celibacy and lacking other canons that the Eastern Orthodox specifically adopted, for example, the canons of the Quinisext Council at Trullo.*
The only traditional Christian churches which come close to observing Jewish dietary restrictions are the Ethiopian Tewahedo Orthodox Church and the Eritrean Tewahedo Orthodox Church, but not only do they eat meat, and have particularly delicious food, but they also are in full communion with the other Oriental Orthodox churches, which most definitely do not follow Kosher dietary principles (indeed, the food of the Armenian Apostolic Church is about as far removed from Kosher as you can get, with delicious meat and cheese dishes served at the same time and in abundance. What is more, the Ethiopian and Eritrean churches were, until the 20th century reign of Emperor Haile Selassie, part of the Coptic Orthodox Church (and the separation of the Eritrean church from the Ethiopian church was made official in 1994 by the Coptic Orthodox Church granting it autocephaly, that is to say, ecclesiastical independence).
The Copts eat pork and consume meat and cheese simultaneously. Indeed, because of the discrimination against the 10 million or so Coptic and Greek Orthodox Christians in Egypt by the Muslim majority, the poorest members of the Coptic community in greater Cairo live in the suburb Muqattam, where they survive by raising pigs, which feed in the adjacent landfill on leftover food from the predominantly Muslim city, an activity which is tolerated by the Muslims because it reduces the contents of the landfill, but which is not a desirable way to live, and the former Egyptian dictator Hosni Mubarak among other attrocities ordered the killing of their herds out of fear of a possible infection during the Swine Flu epidemic shortly before he was deposed from office and replaced by the even more despotic Muslim Brotherhood member Mohammed Morsi, who won a popular election, but whose subsequent Islamist policies were so unpopular that he was himself later deposed and replaced by the current military dictatorship, which has remained relatively stable ever since, although they have failed to protect the Copts from repeated terrorist attacks by ISIS including the bombing of a historic parish church located adjacent to St. Mark’s Cathedral in Cairo and the bombing of busses transporting pilgrims and youth groups on day trips to ancient monasteries.
*These prohibit depicting Jesus Christ as a lamb, or consuming in the Eucharist unleavened bread, the former being widespread in Western Christianity, and the latter being the norm in the Roman Catholic and Armenian Apostolic church, but since this council did not cause a schism, it seems reasonable to say that Trullo is a local council specific to Byzantine Rite churches in what would become the Eastern Orthodox communion.
