"Macrobiotic Seminars" is a collection of articles by Michio Kushi from over thirty five years of Macrobiotic theory and practice. Topics include self-diagnosis, diet and nutrition, love and marriage, ki and kitchens. Especially interesting is the connection drawn between sugar and mental illness. I like the emphasis given to quality whole foods as a pivotal factor of good health.

These lectures are part of the Kushi Collection at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington,D.C. Kushi's work is included as a permanent collection documenting Macrobiotic influence on modern health and nutrition. This once alternative health movement seems to be going mainstream as people begin to realize that diet does,in fact, directly influence health and well being.

Those interested in the Macrobitic diet for serious health reasons can read, "The Macrobiotic Approach to Cancer: Toward Preventing and Controlling Cancer with Diet and Lifestyle" or "Diet for a Strong Heart" among others.
