What are your ideas on having macrobiotic education in schools?
**************************************************************************
We asked Joe Waxman his opinion.
I think this will eventually happen. The first step is to get healthier food in schools.
This is already happening in various places. Organic vending machines have made it into
schools in America and sodas are being taken out. Some private schools offer vegetarian
and vegan lunches, like the one I went to for highschool, Kimberton Waldorf.
Soon enough, there will be a macrobiotic children's school. This will be the start of it. Over time
it will gain recognition and become more accepted as society reforms it's diet as a whole.
All the steps need to be taken together. Whole grains and vegetables need to more commonly eaten
all over, and macrobiotic education for the young and old needs to be established and accepted within society.
This does not negate anything about the modern diet or education. Both can exist simultaneously.
Macrobiotics can harmonize with it and establish order and understanding.
Eventually, both traditional and modern thinking will be covered and ordered by the big umbrella of
macrobiotic thought and understanding. The same goes for food and everything else.
Macrobiotics is not about moving backwards into a traditional lifestyle, but rather, using traditional
ways with modern ways, to move forward into the future.
Nothing is lost with macrobiotics, but everything gained.

Your Questions: What about Macrobiotics and Osteoporosis? We asked Gale Jack her opinion.
**************************************************************************
Basically among macrobiotic women the main cause is baked flour and salt.
Though it would appear to be a yin condition as the bones are thinning, the basic cause
(as I understand it) is more yang. So lighter cooking styles are needed, lots of variety, softer grain
at times, and minimizing baked flour such as sourdough bread, hard baked cookies, etc.
Sourdough bread can be taken steamed once or twice a week or with soup.
I seem to do well on unyeasted rye bread.
I also avoid calcium supplements because I feel they make the condition worse though
the calcium available in sea vegetables and leafy greens is very absorbable and necessary.
It pains me when I see people throwing out the hard stems of collards and other vegetables;
they're so necessary to make our bones and teeth strong.
And of course I avoid dairy as the molecules in milk and cheese are too large to be readily
absorbed in the human body and so the milk tries to discharge upward and contributes to breast
cancer while the cheese discharges downward and gathers in the form of fat around the ovaries
and uterus, causing problems in those areas (so I understand).
We all just have to practice as well as we can and oftentimes other long time macro friends
can see our condition better than we can and make helpful suggestions.
