Question:
Macrobiotic food?
2007-04-09 15:01:21 UTC
Looking for cheap book on macrobiotic food, or website. Used to love it in late 60s, then it seemed to disappear or be absorbed in vegetarian places. I work long irregular shifts now as a care worker and need some ideas on foods I can take with me to work. I only get a half-hour break so I can't linger. I take organic soups, fruit, energy bars, organic walnuts etc but would like to have a bit more choice. I don't have a lot of time for preparation either. Sorry to be difficult! Also need ideas for food to cook for my family when I get a day off work. I am really trying hard to avoid processed foods etc. Also, any ideas on what to drink with a family meal? Organic wine? Can I get out into the countryside (what there is left now) and pick things and concoct a drink? Be grateful for a serious response. Barry.

Macrobiotic just means to eat local fresh seasonal food. Do not eat food out of season or imported food. Cook and create your dishes very simply. Basically, this was taken from the traditional Japanese diet, but could easily be any traditional diet from around the would as they were all at one time Macrobiotic, thus, local, fresh, simple, healthy, etc. I love the books by Michio and Aveline Kushi. I believe George Osawa coined the phrase macrobiotic. Pretty good work to have created, but these days, more people are so unintellectual that they shy away from any word that they do not understand, or that has too many syllables, or sounds foreign etc.
