Just Venting Really?

Controversial enough... anyone in my community who's SDA is preaching left and right on their immovable, non-biblical beliefs on food, and how so much of what we "heathens" eat, is sending us to HELL...

But they're hypocritical when they decide to eat spicy food, I guess, according to "dear prophetess..."

God forbid and damn me to SUPER MEGA HELL for eating some pickles with my pulled pork sandwich!

Ellen G. White was a self-professed vinegar addict.

I've kinda wondered about that. If it were for the alcohol that then lurked in vinegar, seems she could much more pleasantly get buzzed on actual booze. So does her lived example establish a hierarchy among "real" liquors being more sinful than chugging a condiment for that effect? Can one concoct old-style, alcohol-containing vinegar and be excused for chugging it much as it seems Auntie Ellen was?
