You make broad false generalizations, as all liberals are given to do.
Everyone in this country is deficient because our soils have been destroyed by improper agriculture. This is especially true in the states that irrigate heavily, throwing the mineral content of the soil far out of balance.
Pharmaceuticals are unnatural and completely destructive nonsense, that can have no useful purpose in nutrition, and have broad latent toxicity that will lead to early death.
Pharmaceuticals are the proximate cause of the growing cancer epidemic that grips this country.
Quality supplements are produced from natural substances, and do not lead to weakening of the body as all pharmaceuticals do.
No “balanced diet” is even possible when GMO crops replace real vegetables, and animals are improperly slaughtered by beating them over the head rather than cutting their throats ans allowing their hearts to pump the blood out.
No argument on sugar and carbs, but the grain heavy diet that most are pushing leads to a total shutdown of proper digestion.

You could not be more wrong. In the United States we do not have a vitamin and mineral deficiency. You could test every freeper and with the exception of a few people with vitamin D deficiency everyone will be well within normal ranges. Vitamins to be effective and absorbed properly must be taken in the correct proportions and combinations. This is a huge failure of supplements. But the biggest failure of supplements is the delivery system. The body simply can’t absorb whats in a pill or gelcap like it can from food. Therefore, the body evacuates it usually through the urine. That $30 bottle of supplements literally just got pissed down the toilet.
Yes GMO food is bad. But not because of nutritional composition but because of the way it destroys its environment and native natural crops and the way it interacts with the human body. The wheat we eat today is not the same wheat 100 years ago. It is awful because if you mix it with water it makes gluten and a lot of people are gluten sensitive.
The problem with the American diet is sugar and carbs. McDonalds isn’t bad for you because its high in fat, its bad for you because its high in fat AND carbs. The worst possible combination. If you are a fatty and do not wish to be, follow a paleo low carb diet. Eat all the fatty meat you want. Eat all the eggs you can. Eat all the vegetables you can. Drink water, tea, and coffee. Use full fat butter and creams and coconut oil to cook foods in. If you need a sweetener use Stevia. Stay away from breads, pasta, soda, anything made in a factory. Beef is one of the greatest foods for humans. Stick to natural whole foods grass fed non steroid or antibiotic is better but not necessary. Your calories should come from %50 fat %35 protein %15 carbs. As long as your carbs are coming from your vegetables (go easy on tubers) don’t worry how much you take in. Once your body enters ketosis weight will melt away. After an accident I put on a few pounds. On paleo, I lost 21 lbs in 3 weeks, no calorie restrictions and very little cardio and moderate weight training exercise.
Paleo is the way God intended man to eat. It served man well for thousands of years. I believe we honor Him and ourselves but eating in a manner in which He intended.
I don’t disagree with you about GMO food. But your views on vitamin supplements are completely wrong.
Live well freepers.
