Yes, you read it correctly — the very hip chick herself has graced A Grain A Day with a guest post! Thank you Jessica — we hope to have you again sometime soon! In case you have been living under a macrobiotic rock, Jessica Porter wrote “The Hip Chick’s Guide to Macrobiotics: A Philosophy for Achieiving a Radiant Mind and a Fabulous Body” back in 2004, and she single-handedly convinced me (and cooljuice) to go “whole hog.” Her humor, ability to be real, and intelligent explanations are all you need to get [and keep] you going… Please check out her website here (where she also maintains a hilarious and helpful blog), her book here, and her online macrobiotic cooking classes here. So with no further ado - take it away Jessica!
