Going Macro. Week 3. Day 1.

Fruit does not figure prominently in the macrobiotic diet. I can have it 2-3 times a week, though, and when I do, you'd think I was having crumpets and cream for breakfast. Every bite is a gift. These berries, in particular, were picked straight out of my garden, fresh this morning. The polenta is from Breakneck Acres Farm in Ravenna, Ohio, fresh-milled, organic, with a pinch of sea salt. The vegetables include organic, local-grown baby bok choy from Kent Natural Foods Co-op, organic daikon radish and organic turnips from Krieger's Health Food Market and brussells sprouts. Refreshing, life-giving. What a great way to start the day.

I try to consume outside in the fresh air as many meals as possible.
