Re: Macrobiotics and an enslaved mentality; a negative construct?

Hi again foymula,

I believe the key here is moderation.

Some people are attracted to strict dietary regimens and have no problem being very disciplined. Most people, though, if they routinely deny themselves something they really want, will end up feeling deprived and binging later, with unhealthful results. So macrobiotics does tend to believe, that in transitioning to macrobiotics and also in an established diet, there is room for moderate consumption of non-"macrobiotic" foods.

Does that help?
