Comment on the post “San Paku: Three Sides of White Showing
in the Eyes (Issue 146).”

George Ohsawa, who brought macrobiotics over from Japan, wrote an
excellent book on the subject called, *You Are All San Paku*. It is
easily explained when you understand the concept of Yin (pronounced Yeen)
and Yang (pronounced Yong). Every food has different qualities and some
cause cells to contract while others cause cells to expand. For
example…a baked potato causes cells to contract more so than a
strawberry because the liquid has been cooked out of the potato, while the
strawberry still has it’s original water content- just as a sponge- a cell
absorbs water. A cracker, however, is more contractive than a baked
potato because it is virtually devoid of water.

In this age of information, there’s no excuse for anyone to remain ignorant about what’s going on in your life relative to your health.
There is a continuous proliferation of information about disease, health, and cures coming from a variety of sources like your television, radio, magazines, newspapers and books, just to name a few.
Just this morning I received information about the manufacturing of drugs in other countries. Appallingly, it was reported that the FDA inspects less than 3%. Then I read about the adverse effects of these drugs, which sometimes can even lead to death. Another article I recently read told about imported food that was grown domestically and was contaminated.
I moved from Atlanta to a little North Georgia town 18 months ago and realized yesterday I’m spending almost twice the amount I usually spend on groceries.
I cook meals from scratch most every day and am quite nutritionally minded. I decided I needed to rethink my cooking habits. Therefore, last night I soaked a dollar pack of pinto beans, which are a good source of vegetable protein.
Today I cooked the bag of pintos and after soaking, they made quite a large pot of beans. I added onions, carrots, celery and chilies, spiced with a little chili powder, added a pinch of sage, salt and pepper, and cooked slowly for about two hours.
I also bought a head of cabbage, which also has a lot of nutritional value. It cost $2.59. It seemed to me I had been buying cabbage for years for no more than 49 cents a pound, which usually costs around a dollar.
