  • While rectifying a few grammatical points (there may be some hypercorrection in there, sorry; one can revert it if necessary), I noticed the phrase "now considered to be a macrobiotic diet". Now, I was wondering whether this meant "now considered to have been a macrobiotic diet" or "now considered a macrobiotic diet" (I know that it is a pedantic point, but I thought that it was ambiguous; is it referring to the diet's having been a macrobiotic diet and that that has only recently been considered/discovered or is it referring to the fact that it is only considered macrobiotic in modern terminology? By the way, "consider" doesn't need to have "to be" with it, if one cannot see the point I am making).

The name of the author (Anita Leslie) of the Chichester biography and Chichester's name in the title citation are both misspelled. Just typos. I tried to edit, but can't seem to get onto that page. I just finished reading the book this morning. It's excellent. 24.86.132.252 00:16, 3 September 2007 (UTC)Chuck Davis, September 2, 2007
