We are making an unhealthy nation with selling little kids on unhealthy products. Cereal is a good example. Cereals have vitamins added:
I never really thought about it in much detail, as probably most people
don’t. But it turns out that they’re—these vitamins are not coming from
the foods that contain them. Like vitamin C does not come from an
orange, and vitamin A does not come from a carrot. It’s very far from
that. They come from things that really aren’t actually foods. Vitamin
D, for instance, was probably the most shocking. It comes from sheep
grease, so actually the grease that comes from sheep wool. You have
giant barges and container ships that go from Australia and New Zealand
over to China, where most of—a lot of our vitamins are produced. About
50 percent of global vitamin production comes from China inside these
huge factories, very industrial processes. A lot of vitamins are
actually chemical processes.
