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.

I agree with most of that statement. Steroid and antibiotic avoidance is not optional, it is absolutely mandatory.
As far as ‘deficiencies’ go, you are far too accepting of arbitrary and deceptive, unscientific “normal ranges.”

You are absolutely correct! For instance 60-65% of Adults over 40 are deficient in magnesium. Vitamin D is another story.
