Ipse dixit. They are not. Their church was founded by Ellen G White as part of 
the Great Disappointment. The Great Disappointment was also known as the 
Millerite Advent, in which a certain Bible teacher predicted Christ's return but 
someone forgot to let Christ in on it. White readjusted the dates (a few times) 
and also broadened her message to encompass complete sobriety in the form of 
abstinence from alcohol, tobacco, and meat, along with fastidious study of the 
Scriptures (the Branch Davidians were an off-shoot of the SDAs, fwiw), frequent 
exercise, prayer, and other such habits. Most vegetarians do not engage in 
anything close to the lifestyle promoted by Ellen White or her followers.

Not always.
