I've been looking but haven't yet found a picture of her.

Were you born into macrobiotics or get introduced to it at a very early age?

Thank you, very much.

Hi bruce. thanks for your intrest. sorry it took so long to reply but I still have not masterd this forum stuff...
Elaine learned about macro around 1985 or 1986. I was like 12 years old. My Mom slowly transitioned us in to macro. She became fully macro and we ate it as the "side dish" until we were fully integrated. It actually got to a point where my siblings and I would say. "seitan broccoli stew for supper? YAY! ". I don't know how to cook alot of what people call "normal foods". I have been eating foods like "millet casserole", "tofu noodle(Udon) casserole", "mock chicken soup", "lentil soup", "miso soup", "tempeh fingers" "nishime" "natzuki" "aduki squash stew" etc, etc.... for a long time... I just recently eliminated all sugar, dairy, meat, processed foods and I'm loving it.
