for the first 12 years of my life or so my family was on the macrobiotic diet. we went on it both to be healthier and to support a friend who was diagnosed with cancer and given six months to live. She said she had not the willpower to stay on such a strict diet, so my parents put us all on the diet to help support her. That was almost 20 years ago and she's still alive today.
Even though my eating habits may not reflect it, I still believe in the power of balance. The concept of harmony within and without the body is sadly lost on many Americans it seems.
