[at-l] Vitamins and Supplements

[DTimm65344@aol.com (DTimm65344@aol.com)]

I find that 10 slim jims, 6 granola bars, 3 burrito size tortillas, 2 "Cup of 
noodles", 1/2 bag dried fruit, 1/2 bag gorp, 2 tastykake snack bars, 1 cup of 
coffee, 1 cup of hot cider , 1 cup of cocoa, 1/2 bag of bagel chips, 2 
Butterfingers and a serving of oatmeal each day for a week followed by a 6 
pack of Heineken dark, two 16 oz steaks and a baked potato once off the trail 
provides everything I need.  What's a vitamin?

Seriously, I've never taken vitamin or other dietary supplements and I catch 
a cold about once a decade (yet another example of my uniqueness, I suppose). 
 YMMV.
