Wow! You mean we should eat real food instead of partially hydrogenated mono-disodium glutimate and other chemical substances? I can't believe it!

(Please excuse my spelling errors. I was too busy eating an apple to check the spelling.)

Agreed! Nothing compares to the real thing...Real thing as in NON-GMOs too.

We might also add avoid prozac, abilify, ibuprofin, paxil, etc. etc. etc.

Well,I'm a vegatarian and natural foods are really wholesome. Sometimes [though] when it becomes necessary, I would take a vitamin supplement to enhance my adreneline. But as a general whole, I prefer natural foods.

Herbs are food. Herbs contain all the vitamins and minerals. I am a doctor of naturopathy, and although I do recommend vitamins and minerals sometimes, mostly I recommend the appropriate herbs. It's hard to eat enough good food to get what we need without including these dynamos into our plan!

I definitely agree that food is better than a handful of vitamins. But if people aren't getting their necessary nutritional intake from food, and if there's not much they can do about it (many kids in the US are malnourished, for example, and don't have the money to buy food other than what their parents/schools feed them), the least they can do is take a cheap vitamin to supplement their diets.
