This is where your doctor or nutritionist would be helpful in determining whether or not you need supplements. Were it so reliable that we could get all of our necessary and essential vitamins and minerals from our overly-processed, enriched, bleached, chemically treated, colored and whatever else foods, that would be great. However, we've built a huge industry out of packaged and convenience foods that tend to be high in sugars, sodium and things I can't spell or pronounce, that are just too easy to pick up at the store.
Whole, organic, non-processed and fresh foods are the best sources of fiber, vitamin and mineral-rich foods, as well as of antioxidants and other healthy properties. Eat real food, I always say.
This tight economy is encouraging a resurgence of home gardening, like back during the 1970's oil crisis. Growing your own vegetables is fairly easy and satisfying, even in small container gardens.
