the Promised Land as a land “flowing with milk and<br />

honey” (Exodus 3:8).<br />

There is no support for the yin/yang concept in Scripture.<br />

It is a lie <strong>of</strong> the devil and brings people into an occultic<br />

bondage. Macrobiotics is intimately associated with earth<br />

worship, self-worship, pantheism, monism, reincarnation,<br />

and many other gross and very dangerous spiritual errors.<br />

The macrobiotic practitioner finds himself caught up in a<br />

whirlpool <strong>of</strong> legalism in regard to eating. He is told not<br />

only what to eat and what not to eat, but also when to eat<br />

it (e.g, wild plants and fresh greens in spring and round<br />

vegetables and root vegetables in winter), how many<br />

times a day to eat it, how to cook it (e.g., over a flame<br />

rather than by electricity or microwave, using only cast<br />

iron, stainless steel or clay cookware), and how to<br />

prepare it according to the time <strong>of</strong> year (e.g., steaming in<br />

spring and summer). Composition <strong>of</strong> dishes and choices<br />

<strong>of</strong> foods are adjusted according to season, climate, sex,<br />

age, and many other things. The conscientious<br />

macrobiotic practitioner is even instructed as to how he<br />

must eat his food (chewing each bite from 50 to 100<br />

times).<br />

Macrobiotics doesn’t stop there. It instructs the<br />

practitioner to take short baths or showers with warm or<br />

cool water, to wear only cotton clothing, to avoid<br />

metallic jewelry, to use products made only from natural<br />

ingredients, to avoid computer use, etc. etc.<br />
