Were you or your mom overweight or there was some kind of medical issue that made her force this diet on you?

No, she was just into that esoteric spiritual I tjing and tarot bullshit, lateron Rudolf Steiner, homeopathic and faith healers shit. In the ‘70s this was a fad diet here in the Netherlands. She was very, very violent as well. I was pulled out of that when school began to notice the bruises, bad health and child protection services was notified. She didn't have a good upbringing though, but I didn't pass it onto my son. I don't hate her but she is a total idiot.

We were underfed, anyhow macrobiotic diet is notorious for not getting the nutrients you need. We where skinny, yellow, itchy, hungry, getting too much salt and a diet without much variety. “Oh your behaviour is to much yang right now…I need to get you on salad for a couple of weeks till I get you balanced”.

I am still seeing a shrink for that shit…
