Fun. Inspiring. Colorful. Thought provoking. These are just a few of the adjectives that describe The Adventures of Mighty Macrobiotic Girl!, a comical account of one woman's lifetime quest for weight loss, wellness, and a happier, more harmonious existence.

Over the course of 13 years, Laura McCarthy Johnson (a.k.a. "Mighty Macrobiotic Girl!") dropped nearly 60 pounds through a combination of diet and exercise. She has maintained her weight and strengthened her health via a commitment to a predominantly plant-based way of eating, centered on whole, unprocessed foods, and incorporating aspects of macrobiotics. Since childhood, her main passions in life have included cooking and baking; ecology and the environment; animal welfare; and carrying on the family tradition in show business. She is a longtime advocate for holistic health, is perpetually fascinated by the concept of "food as medicine", and has been studying macrobiotics since 2004.

She aspires to combine and present these, her favorite things, in an informative and entertaining public outlet that's fun for the whole family!
