" I am someone who is generally prone to jump on health food bandwagons, I practically eat a vegan diet as it is. But this woman is nuts. Wacko. For instance, the idea that celery "balances" carrots because one grows skyward, and the other earthward ... and that, well, "macro people generally don't eat potatoes, tomatoes and eggplant, because they leech vitamins from your system" (not an exact quote but that was the idea). Macrobiotics looks to me like a constructed, fictionalized justification for what would be a vegan, traditional Japanese diet - and I currently enjoy traditional Japanese dishes with sea vegetables & such - it's the bullshit about chewing each mouthful 100 times, that I can't buy. Wacko. "
