here is the first news article i've seen today:
http://http//www.naturalnews.com/025606.html
it seems the ever-vigilant FDA, those guys who are determined to keep Americans the picture of fitness and health has determined that vitamin B6 is a drug. and therefore illegal.
not just a drug, mind you, but a 'new' drug. oh, really.
B6 is used by the body to help regulate the release of glucose and glycogen, it also helps the body assimilate amino acids. pretty sinister stuff.
if you have a deficiency your skin will will look like crap at best, and your brain will mess up at worst.
i've heard rumors that they're planning to put soy (protein) products on the food pyramid. soy has never seemed so scary.
bunch of jackasses. evil jackasses.
in other news, i had sworn off gardening...until i decided to dig up a quarter of my backyard for a garden.
we're planting onions, cabbage, bell peppers, hot peppers, tomatillos, green beans, tomatoes, asparagus, and strawberries.
as soon as the weather stops dripping i think i'll do some photo journalism on our little project.

Better watch out! Pretty soon your garden produce will have to be tested for vitamin content! Too much and those tomatoes and peppers will be *new drugs*...
