too yang?

while in LA, two macrobiotic people said to me, "brown rice 3 times a day? that's probably too much, especially living in new york!"

i had been kind of starting to think so, since id been a bit angry, rigid, and losing sense of humour recently.

new york city, so compact, condensed, and fast-pace... a.k.a, very YANG!
and eating pressure cooked brown rice 3 times a day?
no wonder i'm becoming like this!

for my own defense, im eating it because i like it.
growing up in japan, rice and miso soup are basic, comfort food that gives me energy.

anyhow, maybe i should relax and eat other "less yang" grains.
so this is barley and corn.
also udon or other flour product may be good ,too, to relax and cope with the energy of manhattan : )
