Hello Everyone,

I was hoping that someone could tell me what the benefits of the macrobiotic diet/lifestyle are compared to the raw diet/lifestyle. For the past year or so I have been wavering between the two philosophies and as a result, not sticking to either.

Whenever I read about the raw food lifestyle, it seems so ideal...and the benefits that adherents express are astounding. But then I think that the macrobiotic lifestyle makes more sense because it isn't "natural" for someone in Canada to feast on tropical fruits...etc. as they do in the raw food diet. But I read so much about how great the raw food lifestyle is and how cooking kills enzymes etc., that I just grow more and more confused.

Can someone enlighten me? I want to make a choice and stick to it...

Thanks,

Sunrise
