The Kaizen diet

Sharing is caring!

The concept of Kaizen suggests that one should make continual miniscule improvements in order to yield a long term result.

I am all for this idea, and wonder how it would apply to dieting.

On the face of the earth there are many forms of produce, and many cultures have derived ways to extract nutrition from them.

What is the way that I can best nourish myself and others? Is there a way?

Eat local, but how local?

How specific can I get and should I get with nutrition?

What’s the most I can derive from the least? How can I make myself full?

Continual improvements in self-sustaining food preparation, planning and processing.

How can one go from this to nourishing family or a community?

What impact might this have on reducing carbon emissions?

How scientific can one get?

If the whole world’s a garden, and no rules are written, and one remains curious,

Then refinement of food and flavour yield a bounty of opportunities. Imagination plus produce.
