> Does anyone know if there is a comparison between a raw food verses a > macrobiotic diet? Are you looking for just basic facts or something more scientific and/or official? The most basic info I can offer is that my understanding is that macrobiotics believe in cooking just about everything. My accupuncturist is heavily into macrobiotics, and she's always saying that raw food produces too much cold and damp in the body. My guess is that the official macrobiotic position on raw foods is similar. Also, most macrobiotics followers I know eat tons and tons of brown rice, something that would be difficult to do on a raw food diet. :) Carol
