Foreword
Over the last generation, macrobiotics has grown from a handful of hippies and
dropouts into a health revolution that is spreading into the mainstream. From
Boston to Sydney, from San Francisco to Beijing, from Denver to New Delhi,
macrobiotic principles are guiding society toward a healthier, more peaceful way
of life as we enter the new century.
Hotels, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and prisons are now actively
serving macrobiotic products to their staffs, clients, and the general public. In
Washington, D.C., the Smithsonian Institution opened a permanent collection at
the National Museum of American History recognizing macrobiotics as the
catalyst and spearhead for the natural, organic foods movement and alternative
and complementary medicine in the United States.
Edward Esko, the author of this book, has been among the most active
contemporary macrobiotic teachers over the last twenty-five years, lecturing and
counseling in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and throughout North America and
writing and editing numerous books and articles. Building on the teachings of
George Ohsawa, Michio Kushi, and other forebears, he has applied yin and
yang--the universal principles of change and harmony--to helping solve personal
health concerns, as well as problems related to crime and violence in society, the
environmental crisis, and other social ills.
