The principle of harmony between food and the weather is based on practical experience. It may seem to contradict principles stated elsewhere but the fact remains: food and the four seasons have different impact on the human body. Food becomes part of the body after being consumed but the four seasons (that is the environmental factor) always impacts externally on the body.
The TCM dietary philosophy suggests that you embrace your native foods in addition to eating locally-grown foods and those in season. Foods are too often chemically treated instead of being grown naturally are unhealthy. Natural, home-grown and chemical-free products are most nutritious.
