  Comments:
is there a source for 'macrobiotics'?   wikipedia mentions nothing of it in its entry for マクロビオティック.  i wouldn't be surprised if macrobiotic products were marketed as 「延命」 (e.g., if they're supposedly healthy and extend your life), but i doubt that the label would be applied ~only~ to macrobiotic products.  could this have come from confusion based on that?
