Hi Klara, Yes I know it can be frustrating but if in the end you feel your day was spoilt by having a certain train of thought then you have to ask the ...
Did you ask her where she learned that? I'd be curious to know. In Healing with Whole Foods, Paul Pitchford says that we often recreate the same issues, and...
I can totally relate to this. We also had some utterly hair-raising moments.... failed engines and all. But to me, there's something deeply spiritual about...
Hi Chad, Alaska is a really special place. When I was working in AK, I also got to see the frontier aspect of Ketchikan. Wrangell was like that too, but I...
Hi Bruce, If you have a library card, I recommend checking out "The Millionaire Mind" by T Harv Eker and the book that Simon recommended some time ago "Think...

Hi Bruce, I imagine George Ohsawa would be proud of you. You certainly like to take on challenges and taking the cooking of macrobiotic foods to the limit. I...
Hi Chad! Thanks for this. I really appreciated reading it. I also feel that because we are all macrobiotic, that we should be MORE flexible rather than LESS...
Hi Mira, Yes I do think that macrobiotics is more than the food so inevitably our conversations will spill over into other issues. All the best, Simon...
Hi All, I do think macrobiotics went through a phase where oil was considered something to be avoided and this still persists sometime, however, it is also...

I do soak, I would say about 85% of the time. there *might* be a meal in one of about 10 days where I don't get rice soaked and make it anyway. I'm roasting...
