Vitamins are not good for U

eh, just take a "one-a-day" type vitamin. it costs about a dime a day. If it's unnecessary, hey youre out ten cents. and it's not high dosages of any vitamin.

and it makes your pee a cool bright yellow.
 
Makes the "one-a-day" a helluva good market to be in. Maybe I'll buy some shares.

Eat proper - it's cheaper and fills you up more. And your pee goes technicolour (heh - see if I'm wrong! :))

sadly in America it's cheaper to eat crappy food than to eat healthy. (at least when you're cooking for one, like myself)

McDonalds, dinner for 4 bucks. That's hard to beat.

I really can't picture a person in America getting sick or dying because of malnutrtion because they didn't get all their vitamins in on a few days but I still take that vitamin. Just some peace of mind. (or some highly effective advertising from the Centrum people)
 
This is different, it has to do with possible benefits of higher-than-necessary doses of certain micronutrients in order to fight some ailments - not just maintain good health. Like mega doses of niacin for the treatment of dyslipidemias (lots of studies about that too).

But even if we discuss whether the average American gets all the recommended micro- and macro-nutrients, I'm sure that few Americans take the recommended quantities of fiber, EPA & DHA for example.

You can buy a two-pack of "Lean Pockets" at Wally World for about $2.50...and they're much lower in fat :)

It's not that expensive to eat healthier. I've recently made changes in my diet, and it really hasn't raised our food budget. I was suprised...it's not really much more expensive, but it does take more time (as many of your meals you have to fix yourself).
