Gods I love macrobiotic food. It's the first diet that I've come across that says eat until you are full....and I actually get full...and lose weight. What a novel idea! I'm still cautious about being 100% macro because Gwenth Paltrow(sp??) was diagnosed with osteopenia (early osteoporosis) and she's like around my age from being too strictly on macro. People who are intensely into macro don't even take vitamins or supplements believing all they need is in the food. I do think macro is better but food isn't what it used to be in the old days. Fruits, even the ones NOT GM, have been bred to contain less Vitamin C because that makes fruit sour instead of sweet. So on and so forth...
