You really can't get your vitamins and minerals from food any longer. Let's say 100 years ago, food contained at least TEN TIMES the vitamins and minerals than it does today. This is due to poor farming methods and replanting the same crops year after year in the same fields. Soil is depleted of nutrients we need for proper functioning of our bodies. So, please complain if they try to take over the supplement industry.
You might want to try growing your own so you have total control. You can plant heirloom varieties and harvest vegetables when they are actually ripe.
Vitamins don't come from the dirt, but minerals do. That's why crop waste needs to be turned under or burned, not totally removed. Some people advise adding rock dust as a supplement.
