Michio Kushi (久司 道夫 Kushi Michio; born 1926 in Japan) helped to introduce modern macrobiotics to the United States in the early 1950s. He has lectured about philosophy, spiritual development, health, food and diseases at conferences and seminars all over the world.

Kushi received the Award of Excellence from the United Nations Society of Writers. In 1999, the Smithsonian Institution’s National Museum of American History opened a permanent collection on macrobiotics and alternative health care in his name. The title of the collection is the "Michio and Aveline Kushi Macrobiotics Collection." It is located in the Archives Center.
Michio and his wife Aveline are founders of The Kushi Institute, now in Becket, Massachusetts.
For their "extraordinary contribution to diet, health and world peace, and for serving as powerful examples of conscious living", they were awarded the Peace Abbey Courage of Conscience Award in Sherborn, Massachusetts on October 14, 2000.[1]

بالرغم أنني اتبعت نظام الماكروبيوتك لأشهر عدة إلا أنني لم أكن أفهم بعمق الكثير من مبادئه..
هذا الكتاب ساعدني لأفهم عن توازن الطعام، وكيف يمكننا تقسيمها لـ ين و يانج..
لا يخوض الكتاب كثيراً في تاريخ الطعام في العالم، لكنه من خلال التكرار بطرق مختلفة، يجعلك تفهم أنواع الطعام المختلفة وكيف يمكن لك اختيار ما يناسبك في كل مرحلة..
بدأت ألاحظ من حولي كيف نحاول بدون وعي أن نوازن طعامنا..
ولا يمكنني أن أعد لكم المرات التي انتبهت فيها إلى بعض الوصفات التي تتبع بشكل واضح مبدأ التوازن..
قد يعترض البعض على هذا النظام ويكتفون بمعلوماتهم من الانترنت أو المدرسة..
لكن إن كنت شخصاً جاداً ترغب بحياة أجمل فيمكنك تجريب هذا النظام لشهر على الأقل ورؤية الفرق..

This book gives a lot of info about the foods we eat and how we live our lives. I learned a ton of things, about foods I never new about before. It makes me want to think twice before eating certain things and just look at in general my eating habits.

So far, I've read a lot about robots taking over the earth. Not what you would expect from your average fad diet book.
