Re: Macro Vs. Raw

That's something I find interesting as well. I think the two sides just have very different views. The raw foodists think that the fresher, the more vitamins etc., the healthier.
Macrobiotics see things from the perspective of yin-yang balance, an alien concept to most people. George Ohsawa wrote that the vitamins in food are destroyed by digestion anyway, and cooking is beneficial for digestion, so there isn't much sense in eating (a lot of) raw vegetables.
Which one is the "correct" view can only be found out by trial and error, I suppose.
