| macrobiotic | Macrobiotic refers to the macrobiota, a region's living organisms (or flora and fauna) large enough to be seen with the naked eye. However, macro- comes from the greek makros meaning not only large but also long. So macrobiotic can also be taken to mean long life. Thus, the idea with a macrobiotic diet is that it is for a long life, that is that the diet will lengthen life. (12 Dec 1998) |
