So You'd Like To Become A Vegetarian?

[mahayana]

This is a little out of left field, but in the course of researching the question of blood acidity for the Atkins Diet thread I found something that surprised me.

Michel Abehsera, the author of "Zen Macrobiotic Cooking", has a chapter on cooking fish in the follow-up book "Cooking For Life, a Guide for The Well-being of Humankind."

"In our home, fish is rarely seen...it has been three months since we had our last bite of fish. For a time we ate it frequently."

Macrobiotics tries to balance yin and yang (acid and alkaline) foods in the diet, and has held that eating meat makes the blood acidic and that this is unhealthy.

just a footnote about vegetarians and fish!
