Um,
no. My respect for Shaw is purely platonic.
Libman you know collards need to be cooked with some type of ham product.
You fucking know it! |
I liked ham products in large quantities and without and nasty green stuff in them.
But now I'm in a war - to reclaim by body, my economic independence from evil, and my life!

Exactly.
I get more than enough vitamins from veggies, obviously, but it's nice to be sure I fill the gap on those monotone days when I mainly eat legumes and grains. I often run out of fresh greens 2-3 days after shopping, and sometimes I only bother going shopping once a week, but I do eat large quantities of fresh tomatoes and/or tomato paste, avocados, onions, peppers, etc every day though.
It actually makes sense to get some minerals from supplements: plants just get them from soil without changing them much, so why not just cut out the middle-man (or middle-lifeform) the way I do with meat. Of course there are hundreds of different nutrients, so you can't use supplements for everything, just the main essential minerals like calcium, potassium, etc - and of course vitamins D and B12.
