Sounds like something your parents would've served up though!

Actually ... I don't know if macrobiotics would frown or approve vegemite. They were into most anything as long as it was balanced out somehow by other things.

In general they avoided anything with a lot of sugar. They avoided coffee and highly processed foods. Maybe vegemite would fall into the latter category? Not sure.

Just a sec [invokes google/wikipedia fu powers] ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macrobiotic_diet

Here is a general overview.

Somehow I think they would shy away from anything so salty that might also be processed....

LOL. Actually I am familiar with the Macrobiotic Diet. If you my recall, my Mom was into such things, but didnt stick with it.

I put Macrobiotic somewhere between when she only shopped at the Good Food Co-Op, and when she went Vegan.

Remember I was the kid who got Carob Bunnies and Yogurt Covered Raisens for Easter.

Edit: I actually remember why she quit the Macrobiotic diet. To many fermented and vinegar soaked things were making her sick to her stomach.

I thought the vinegar soaked things were disgusting too.

I don't remember the carob bunnies ... Yogurt covered raisins aren't bad though (if there is nothing else around I suppose)....

Yeah the yogurt covered raisins were actually kinda good. But the Carob...Well thats just an insult to my taste buds.

Nelson Broth .... AHHHHHH!!!!! [sees the album cover]



A few things begin to come into focus I may not have fully understood before. :\

Maybe we should feed all the carob bunnies to Scrappy Doo in the future!
