When we see the sun and moon, the sky and stars, mountains and rivers, seas and forests, fields and valleys, birds and animals, and all the wonders of nature, let us remember that we have come with them all from the infinite universe. Let us be thankful for our environment on earth and live in harmony with all that surrounds us.
--Michio Kushi


The macrobiotic approach to health and happiness begins with an appreciation that we have come from food which has come from nature. Its emphasis is on a balance of whole grains and vegetables, prepared with a clear awareness of our seasonal needs to balance our diet with our environment: warming foods in the winter, cooling foods in the summer. Organically grown vegetables, greens, and fruits are essential to obtaining this balance since they are grown in harmony with the environment.

The core tenet of macrobiotics is a modified yin-yang theory. Macrobiotics, a term coined in Japan in the 1930s, was popularized in the United States by Michio and Aveline Kushi. At its best, it's a plant-based diet of whole, seasonal, regional, and organic foods. Through their literature and wholesale and retail businesses, the proponents of macrobiotics and the macrobiotic diet helped define and implement the budding natural foods industry in the 1960s and 1970s. In addition, the macrobiotuc movement is primarily responsible for introducing or reintroducing to our cuisine such quality foods as whole grains, seaweed, and many unpasteurized, fermented foods.
