Michio Kushi Memorial Website

"The United States is a multi-racial and multi-cultural society. Its founding spirit, democracy, is historically and universally valuable for human society. Because the United States is now holding a leadership role for the entire world in many domains, this nation should be concerned with the health and wellbeing of humanity on this planet.

Together with international cooperation, the United States should become a pioneer to correct the current human eating habits, and clean up the environment in all areas of the world. These actions are far more important and beneficial for entire mankind, including our own America, beyond any other national or international policy."
