About This Book
Back in the late sixties most of the middle class youth of
America seem to have joined the psychedelic generation and looked
for new horizons to expand their lives. Most all of these young people
had grown up on meat, potatoes, white bread, and sugar as this is all
they knew.
Along came very conservative George Ohsawa and talked
about a way of health and longevity that expanded your mind
naturally by being in tune with the Universal Order. This was
appealing to many people, and became rather popular along with the
general interest in natural food and herbal healing. Now almost four
decades later macrobiotics is still popular and well known.
After eating this way for over thirty years it became clear that
all the books on this subject were, in fact, about JAPANESE
macrobiotics, written by Japanese people (or with their outlook), with
Japanese cooking, and Japanese ingredients. Someone needed to
write a book making macrobiotics more PRACTICAL, more universal,
more down to earth, more fun, tastier, more creative, less restrictive,
without all the Japanese clothing, but not watering it down or
weakening it at all. There were just too many unneeded limitations,
and too much cultural influence that simply did not translate here.
Why expensive, hard to find Japanese vegetables, only 5% soups,
tea with caffeine, buckwheat noodles with white flour, refined cous
cous, no salads, very limited seasonings and condiments, few fresh
green and yellow vegetables, all that salt, no supplements, no natural
hormones, almost no raw foods, sprouts or fresh salads, and no
fasting?
All the books on macrobiotics followed this same Japanese
dogma without deviating. Someone needed to write a book that
would keep the integrity and effectiveness, while expanding the
scope.
This book is for all races and cultures despite the title
. This
will not be a long book, nor filled with recipes and personal stories. At
first, this may seem like too austere a way to eat everyday, but more
and more it becomes your natural and enjoyable way of life. You will
no longer want to eat meat, dairy, desserts, or tropical foods except
very occasionally if at all. After more than 35 years of personally
doing this you can believe that this is a wonderful, fulfilling and
rewarding way to live as well as the best way to cure “incurable”
illnesses.
