From: nax (Call me Nax) [Which you would rather eat: burdock root or a peach?] A friend of mine noticed the following. While the macrobiotic diet stresses the balancing of yang:yin, the prefered ratio is not 1:1 -- it's something like 4:1 or 5:1. Is this yangism? Can that bias be construed as proto-sexism? What make yang preferable to ying ? How do I know this isn't the subtle prejudice of a patriarchal society? Uh, the peach. Nax@Cornel
