I just threw out all my vitamin supplements and started to read the ingredients of all my processed and packaged foods.

I am a Brit. We don't do so many supplements here. I was stunned at the supermarket shelf image you shared! I was horrified at the 'fortification' in bread and I remember a friend who spent a year there telling me that they could not eat American bread, because it tasted weird, awful and sweet.

We do have some fortified products but I don't buy them. Old fashioned, me!

I like my meat and two veg as a minimum!

When I was four years old, in 1956, my Mum gave me some supplements called Haliborange. I went orange and itchy! Thankfully the doctor asked the right questions and told my Mum off a strip!

I have been unable to consume virtually all Big P-Harma ever since. An allergic reaction is almost guaranteed if I do.

Sadly, our food is increasingly contaminated (by order of Codex Alimentarius from the UN). I just avoid it as far as possible. The meat we consume is vaccinated, supplemented and contaminated. So is the grain which is desiccated with glyphosate (vile!!).

Thanks a lot for this insight into American food. Needless to say, I won't be visiting.
