Feng Shui & Food

Interesting article in today’s NYTimes about how good health depends on who’s buying the food and doing the cooking in a household. I was not at all surprised to find that researchers discovered five types of “nutritional gatekeepers”, because that range of types corresponds exactly to the Feng Shui concept of the Five Elements.

The types they identified are “Giving” cooks, which correspond to the Earth element; “Methodical” cooks, corresponding to the Metal element; “Competitive” cooks, corresponding to the Wood element; “Healthy” cooks, corresponding to the Water element; and “Innovative” cooks, which correspond to the Fire element.

As usual, what we want is to have a balance of all these types: good taste plus innovation plus healthy ingredients and so on. Check out the entire article here. You’ll even find a link that will help you discover what type you are.
