It is about time the plug was pulled on the diatribes from Claudio

I've read that no matter how "immaculate" and "perfect" your diet is, you will have to go outside that diet and supplement, because food is depleted of its vitamin/mineral content and all that good stuff... I've read interesting arguments that although an orange contains vitamin C, after picking that orange, the content of vitamin C decreases steadily, and by the time it reaches the consumer at the market, it's virtually void of anything useful. Most of us aren't lucky enough to live near groves of oranges and other good stuff, we HAVE to buy it at the store, so we're eating foods that are empty of anything useful, therefore we HAVE to supplement outside our diet. Also, the land used to grow this food is virtually void of anything useful. Soil has been depleted of it's content of goodness, due to commercial farming methods and industrialization....

Oh, and in response to that lune Claudio's argument... A cow has but 8 stomachs, a human has but 1... would you trust to ingest milk from a species not of your own??? A cow's makeup is very different from that of a human, it is the animal that's system is the furthest from resembling that of a human's. Another thing to consider, once baby cows (veal or whatever) are grown up, they no longer drink milk, therefore why should humans after they are past the newborn/childhood stage?? Also, another thing to consider is that cows are vegan by nature, they are non-meat eating, and although some humans are vegan as well, most humans ARE meat eating, you must throw this part of their system also into consideration. And one last thought, humans are the only species that continue to consume milk after they have passed their infant stage. No other species continues to consume milk after their infant stage...
