I've never taken supplements and afaik neither have my veggie friends or family. I don't cook meat for my kids, although occasionally buy it for them to cook, but they eat a staggering mount of oily fish and fresh fruit and vegetables so I don't feel the need for them to add to the diet. Supplements are normally taken by idiots who believe the vast amount of lies and untruths peddled by drug companies, both corporate and "alternative". Imho, except for pregnant women and people with digestive problems a human only needs a balanced diet as there is nothing we need in mammal meat not provided by other substances. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
