WEEKLY ARTICLE
There Is A Difference!
It really is a sad state of affairs out there. The quality of food in the mainstream is seriously deteriorating, and the lack of knowledge / education in the mainstream is deteriorating just as quickly right along with it. As is health in general "out there".
We were shocked to attend a catered party recently, only to find that the caterer used canned sauces, pre-made (Costco variety) appetizers and entr�e's, and a packaged cake mix for the dessert. (Fortunately we ate a delicious homemade meal at home before the party). We were never the less curious about the quantity and variety of foods being served in general, and questioned her a bit on "how she did it all". Especially how she made a two toned (albeit totally unhealthy) bundt cake, which is when we found out that she actually used a cake mix. She stated that the "box came with two packages, and you just mix them up separately and pour them into the pan separately, and somehow the two batters bake separately", thus creating two colors (yellow and chocolate), within one cake. Now we know, here at Wholly Macro, that cake mix ingredients, especially from "regular" grocery stores, read like a science experiment gone bad, which is why we love our "from scratch" cake recipe with it's surprisingly short list of all natural ingredients (which we are going to fool around with someday, and try a healthy version of the two toned idea)! Still, we could not help but be shocked that someone hired these caterers to "cook" for them, when in fact, all that they did was take pre-cooked, packaged, restaurant supply store bought food, reconstitute it, and serve it in fancy bowls and on fancy platters. And we know what you are saying: You think these were some inexpensive, fly by night caterers. But believe us, they were not. This was a very fancy party with top notch caterers doing what is the "industry standard" for most restaurants and caterers, except Wholly Macro of course. When we cater an event you can be sure that every single dish is freshly prepared from scratch.
Are we the only game in town serving authentic, healthy, made from scratch food? We think we might be!

Another eye opener: What is up with the portion sizes at restaurants? Either we have huge appetites, (in Oriental Medicine a good appetite is a sign of good health), or portions have gotten a lot smaller everywhere but at Wholly Macro. When we go out we order a piece of fish (we hope it is wild - "they" say it is...). It's usually super small and it comes with about eight string beans, and costs about $28.00, usually more. The meals don't come with anything even resembling a "grain", (not even bread), and we are still starving when we finish eating. Yet, if we open a small container of our Wholly Macro food, we can't even eat half of it at one serving because there is so much food packed into the container, and it is so nutritionally dense. Such a big difference.
 | | Restaurant Plate |
Wholly Macro Plate One more eye opener: We have given up on going to most "Asian" restaurants anymore (unless they are of macrobiotic quality). Friends recently asked us to join them at a local Asian restaurant. Following our own good advice, (please see our previous newsletter "How To Eat Out Without Acting Out" ), and not having been to this particular restaurant before (we don't get out much!), we called in advance to find out which fish was wild and which fish was farmed, only to be told that "it is all farmed". Another shocker for us. When did (Asian and most) restaurants stop carrying wild fish? We really questioned them further, got nowhere, and in an effort to find an alternate restaurant, called several other Asian restaurants, only to be told the same thing over and over again, that all of their fish (and seafood) is farmed. (You can of course eat other things besides fish at Asian restaurants, but we suggest you seriously consider the quality of those as well). A "chef" very graciously got on the phone with us at one of the restaurants, and he explained to us that all of their seafood comes from Thailand and that it is all farmed over there. (We are sure that also includes the sea vegetables). He actually said to us: "Why do you ask, is there a difference between wild and farmed"?
One: How un-green and unsustainable to fly everything in from Thailand.
Two: We do want to go to Thailand, but remind us to be very  careful when eating food over there because, is everything really farmed??
And Three: Yes, there is a difference between wild and farmed!!
There is also a difference between canned and packaged, and freshly prepared.
Choose fresh. Choose natural. Choose organic. Choose local. Choose sustainable. Choose wild.
Choose Wholly Macro!!
We are but one of a handful of companies across the entire U.S. doing what we do. And we are even local if you live in South Florida. We are your friendly, healthy, local yokels! So choose us. There is a difference!
In Health As Always.

ABOUT THIS WEEKS MENU
We are looking over this week's menu as we put this newsletter together, and just loving what we see. And we are getting hungry while reading it, which always seems to happen. That is a good thing we think!
 Eating the Split Pea Miso Soup is like doing a natural liver cleanse. Split peas are like tonic for the liver, relaxing and it and giving it a much needed break from the hard work it performs for us each and every day of our lives.
****** We have a helpful tip / serving suggestion for you for the Sesame Umeboshi Nori Rice Balls******
Please try this if you like: Very lightly oil a frying pan or cast iron skillet and let the oil get nice and hot. Then place however many rice balls you want to eat into the pan, and let them brown well on each side before turning them. Brown all sides and serve them fresh out of the pan. They are just delicious warmed in this way, and is how we do it here at Wholly Macro, when we eat them at home,  because we often take the rice balls with us on trips. It is not only that they enjoy traveling so much, but that they are just such excellent travelers as well. Just kidding, but seriously, they do travel well, whether for an afternoon, for a long weekend, or for an airline flight or similar. They are our go to food for traveling of any kind as the umeboshi plum acts as a natural preservative, keeping them fresh, even if unrefrigerated, for long periods of time, days even, while keeping you nice and alkaline during the acid producing stress sometimes created by travel.
 The Seitan Stroganoff and the Udon Fettuccine With Wild Greens are a team in that they really work well together. They were made for each other! You can make a nice bed of Udon Noodles and Greens on your plate, and then drape them with the Seitan Stroganoff, letting the rich and juicy kuzu gravy artistically envelope them. A very nice and healthy spin on a classic stroganoff.
 The Braised Red Cabbage With Wakame And Kale is like taking the best multi vitamin and mineral tablet ever. It is the ultimate, natural land and sea vegetable food source of many essential vitamins and minerals.
And the Lemon Poppy Seed Cake. What can we say? The nutty and distinct crunch of the omega fatty acid rich poppy seeds, the lemony creaminess of the icing, Wholly Macro's  signature whole wheat cake base. If you are going to eat dessert, do it right. And by right, we mean: make it a nutritionally packed, good for you, sweet tooth satisfying treat. You do not want to mess with your pancreas by eating an unhealthy dessert. Your pancreas is just too important. Always include healthy and natural sweets in your diet, and avoid the inevitable sugar binges that come with denial!!

Here's some feedback from a consultation client..... " three years ago I discovered that I had breast cancer. I had heard of Macrobiotics years ago. I didn't understand the concept but immediately I knew that that would be the route that I would pursue. But where to go and who to see was the question. Thank God for reading the macrobiotic newsletter. For in the newsletter there was an article about Gayle Stolove. I just felt her strength and passion burn through the page that I was reading. I immediately made an appointment to see her and although I was still so frightened, I felt so comfortable talking with Gayle. Gayle guided me through the whole process. I thought that the macrobiotic way of life would be boring and just eating rice. Well, I love the foods that I eat and I just feel good about it all. You see, after the surgery, you are sort of left on your own.You have to make your own decisions, etc. Everyone gives you different advice as what to eat, what to do, etc. Doctors don't understand what the patient is going through nor do they understand what kind of diet they should follow. I adopted Gayle as my guardian angel. You can't find that with any nutritionist or doctor. I love receiving her weekly e-mailed newsletters. They are so full of wonderful knowledge and beautiful healthy recipes. Gayle is a remarkable human being. She truly cares for her clients and gives them her all, one hundred percent of the time. Gayle has been there and therefore she is so compassionate and dedicates her life to helping people like me....." a cancer survivor
