Monkey Monday: supplement hangover edition 9 March 2009 11:17 am
Posted by Tracy in : geekery,monkeys,nutrition,school , 2 commentsHoo lady, readers, is my brain ever fried. Last night I went back to the Whole Foods at Columbus Circle for yet another class assignment, this time in the Whole Body section. I’d pretty much skipped the bodycare section on my last expedition, reasoning that there wasn’t really any food there, and also no way could it be as epic as the food court kaleidescope of ready-to-eat offerings. I mean, holy cow is that stuff ever amazing. But it turns out the supplement aisles at Whole Body are pretty overwhelming in their own way. Today’s Monkey Monday post is a writing warm-up for the report I’m handing in at 4:55 — here’s hoping ranting here will help clear out some snark and sort out my thoughts about yesterday evening’s adventures.
The assignment, by the way: pick a dietary supplement to analyze. Read the packaging, take notes, try to figure out what it does and how. Enlist store employees if necessary, all that. Oh yes, go there. Here’s what I got:

Thyroid Support — “Now With Real Thyroid.” ColdFusionTM FoodStateTM Nutrition. Extreme Nutrient Synergy. Raw, Beyond Vitamins & Minerals supplement for “50 & Wiser Women.” I canNOT make this stuff up. (more…)
