Introduction to Macrobiotics

Monday April 12, 2010 6PM - 7:30PM

Monday April 12th we invite you to join Carol Louro for an hour and a half learning experience about the Macrobiotic Diet.

A macrobiotic diet isn't simply a diet plan. It's a way of life. If you're drawn to the concept of eating a natural, organic, plant-based diet (with a little fish) and embrace a Zen-like spirituality in both your life and food selections, then a macrobiotic diet may be for you.

Originally from Japan, the principle behind the macrobiotic diet combines tenets of Zen Buddhism with a Western-style vegetarian diet. Much more than a list of recommended foods, it is all about a spiritualism that transcends lifestyle, attitude, and diet practices. The word "macrobiotic" comes from the Greek and essentially means "long life" or "great life." 

The class will include recipes, helpful book reviews and examples of appropriatte foods.

 Monday April 12th 6:00 pm to 7:30pm. Please RSVP to The Green Grocer at 683-0007 by April 9th if you are interested in attending this session.
