The best thing about living in a free country is that one is free to be gullible and waste money on supplements, quacks, shrinks, dingbats, etc. Pill popping is easier than going to shop for ingredients required for the laborious cooking; not to mention washing up. Even picking up the phone to ring for take away food and going to the restaurants are chores and a half!

These are the foods I take instead of popping vitamin or supplement pills: carrot, red pepper, broccoli, asparagus, cantaloupe, watermelon – vitamin A; green pea, sunflower seed – vitamin B1; mushroom, salmon, cow milk, soybean milk – vitamin B2/B3; spinach, banana, roast chicken breast – vitamin B6; orange, real lemon juice – vitamin C; salmon, prawn, cow milk – vitamin D; almond, olive, spinach – vitamin E; beef, offal, apple, egg plant, chocolate, curry – iron; soup boiled with bone, soft prawn shell, cow milk – calcium; pumpkin seeds, melon seeds – zinc; walnut, tofu, salmon belly - Omega 3. Foods taste better than pills.
