I first met Steve Gagné somewhere around 1990. I was looking for someone to write for a magazine I was publishing at the time, and I knew about Steve as a renegade teacher in the Macrobiotic community. I say renegade beccause Steve was one of the first senior teachers in that community to buck the dogma in the way the Macrobiotic Diet was being promoted by Michio Kushi, considered the leader of the Macrobiotic movement at the time. Considering that my publication was called, The Real News, I knew Steve could give out a dose, when it came to the topic of whole food nutrition, in particular.
Steve is a pioneer in the concept in Food Energetics, which offers the "why" behind the notion that "you are what you eat".
