The author was successful in presenting a good introduction to macrobiotics. But she also maintained it to be the magic solution - for everything in your life. No need to work on your relationships with family, friends, co-workers and life in general. All you have to do is eat the macrobiotic way and your life will be perfect.

Evidence-based medicine, peer-reviewed literature, quality sources??? ahh.. who needs them to write a book about diet and nutrition.

This book is an eye opening for me. Jessica Porter is a great writer, entertainer and a achiever in healthy mind and body. she has a way of explaining very easily what Macrobiotics is all about. While reading this book, I have started to be a Macrobiotics person. I feel better already. ( )

Reading this book is like sitting down and having a chat with Jess (one of my macro teachers and a Portland friend). She's smart and funny, and best of all, she uses a movie anology to explain the roles foods play in your health.
