Re: fruit
Hey Bruce, cheers for the reply... I've just always liked fruit, and it is a nice thing to have as snacks when on the move. I've read some things saying fruit a few times a week, whereas I would prefer to eat it a couple or a few times a day. too much? if so, why?
I'm in Shanghai, teaching English, often at a couple of locations in the same day.
I've recently read a book on macrobiotics, but would ideally like a proper consultation - anyone know anything about macrobiotics in Shanghai?
"Is your diet, your activity, your condition, your weather or any other contributing factor so yang that you feel like eating much fruit?"
can't pretend I know enough to say... I generally eat brown rice, steamed vegetables, oats, fruit (apples, pears, occasional kiwi or banana). It's quite cold here at the moment, highs of about 5 or 6 degrees celsius, and my job is quite busy right now, but this fruit thing may be more a lifelong habit.
"I find it funny that you refer to yourself as a English type."
I understand what you mean. I guess I meant more that if diet is supposed to be in harmony with living climate, does the fact that I lived in England's climate for 23 years mean I should live more appropriate to that rather than my temporary situation in Shanghai.
"Are you near the SARS outbreak?"
not that we've been told, anyway! thanks for your concern.
