effulgent,
Which books did you get?
Unless you got upbeat and uplifting ones like
The Hip Chick's Guide to Macrobiotics: A Philosophy for Achieving a Radiant Mind and a Fabulous Body by Jessica Porter
http://store.cybermacro.com/hipchicks.php and upliftifting and inspiring ones like
The Self-Healing Cookbook: A Macrobiotic Primer for Healing Body, Mind and Moods With Whole Natural Foods by Kristina Turner
http://www.simply-natural.biz/Self-Healing-Cookbook.php, yes, you might find some macrobiotic books a bit dull.
Besides Margaret Lawson, Dallas has had a few notable macros active in Dallas in the past, including the late Dr. Norman Ralston, D.V.M. author of
Raising Healthy Pets: Insights of a Holistic Veterinarian and Gale Jack author (with others) of such classics as
Promenade Home: Macrobiotics and Women; and
Women's Health Guide: A Natural Approach to Breast Cancer, Hearst Disease, Fibroids, Pms, Bulemia, Childbirth, Menopause, and Osteoporosis
Thank you, very much.
