Macrobiotic Diet & One World Government

Oh my goodness, what have we here? --To my slight suprise i came across this while reading Ron Schmids "Native Nutrition" (1987,1994).

"By the early 1900's, refined foods were widely used in many Japanese cities. Yukikazu Sakurazawa became ill eating these foods; he recovered eating brown rice, miso soup, vegetables, fish and other traditional Japanese foods. He later developed a philosophy of living and healing based on his understanding of traditional foods and teachings. While living in Paris he adopted the pen name George Ohsawa and called his teachings Macrobiotics [macro; long or great, Bios; life]

For forty years, his pupil Michio Kushi has been the leader of the world wide macrobiotics movement. The author of books on the subject, he has done a great deal to popularize the use of whole and natural foods. ...

An expressed concern of the macrobiotic movement is world peace; Michio Kushi has written of the desirability of one world government. Whole grains as the staple food for mankind is seen as an important means of promoting this end, for more people may then be fed and more equal distribution of wealth achieved. Food plays a role in personality; people eating a grains-based diet may exhibit more passive and less aggressive tendencies that those eating a diet based in animal-source foods.

Macrobiotic leaders ... are aware that the acceptance of a macrobiotic diet by large segments of the Western world's population would have sociological as well as physiological effects." --p.93 - 96
