Exposed: The Long, Cruel Road to The Slaughterhouse
There is NO need for animal foods in human nutrition. An entirely healthy — and indeed superiorly healthy — diet can be had from the "four vegan food groups" (fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes). Likewise there is no need to eat animal foods in order to have a varied, delicious and satisfying diet — there are plenty of sensational tasting vegan foods from cuisines all over the world, including Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, and good old American traditions.

V8(R) 100% Vegetable Juice Celebrates 75 Years of Vegetable Nutrition
CAMDEN, N.J., Jan. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- Who knew V8(R) juice was ahead of its time when it was created 75 years ago!

Nature Made creates nutritional supplements for prescription users
For years, vitamin supplements have targeted specific users, from children's chewables to prenatal pills. Nature Made recently launched a line of supplements that address the nutritional needs of adults taking specific prescription medications, from Prilosec to Prozac. Scientific research increasingly indicates that certain medications can reduce key nutrients in the body, said Carroll Reider, a registered dietitian with Pharmavite, Nature Made's parent company. "We've been watching these studies come in for 10 to 15 years, showing that one medicine or another may deplete nutrients in users," Ms. Reider said. "In many cases, you'd have to take a bunch of individual vitamins or minerals to make up for the deficiencies." Nature Made last fall unveiled five formulations under the name Rx Essentials.
