Johnnyzen (and MJS),
That all depends on what you define as macrobiotics.
If you define macrobiotics as eating a diet consisting only of whole grains, temperate climate vegetables, legumes, sea vegetables, nuts/seed, fermented foods, maybe including some fish and fruits, etc, sticking within a simple yin and yang balance, then, yes, he deviated from macrobiotics.
But if you include the ability to eat almost anything and find a way to find eqilibrium according to a broader understanding of
The Order of The Universe and
The Unique Principle http://www.cybermacro.com/pages/userpages/ohmacro.html, then George Ohsawa (Nygoiti Sakurazwa) was always practicing macrobiotics.
By the way,
http://www.bookfinder.com has a larger selection of used copies of
Macrobiotics: Yesterday and Today and as a smaller fish in the ocean that is the Internet, maybe is more deserving of our attention than the multi-billion dollar Amazon.com.
Thank you, very much.
