Dara Torres-Amazing

I posted last week, maybe on the "Crap.. someone pos." thread that we all need to get back to basics, like relying on the food we eat. Why the obsession over supplements and vitamins and this powder/that drink? Rely on your body to tell you how training is going, getting through more workouts and harder workouts because you ingested a chemical compound can't be healthy to the person overall. This was stupid when you posted it in the other thread, and it's still stupid. You're kidding yourself if you think that the food you buy in a grocery store is less of a "manufactured chemical compound" than something in a supplement bottle. You mentioned V8, a chicken sandwich, and ice cream. Do you have any idea how many artificial systems and substances are involved the production of those things? Ice cream, for example. The cows that produced the milk were likely fed a diet of primarily corn, which cows don't naturally eat. The diet would have to be supplemented (oh no!) with isolated fats, proteins and vitamins (chemical substances!), and of course the cows also got antibiotics and artificial growth hormones. The resulting milk was pasteurized and homogenized before being frozen and sweetened with processed sugar. Then things like guar gum, cellulose, "mono and diglycerides" and dextrose were added to hold the whole contraption together. Or were you thinking of one of those ice creams with Oreos in it?
