Cyanocobalamin is a synthetic which is less easily absorbed, but more stable and cheaper to produce. Usually a good idea to stay away from synthetics...

Nah, you meet the guys who grow the stuff. A super nice local fella named Randy owns this http://www.oregonswildharvest.com/ company and will happily show you around his farm and operation. His farm is only an hour drive from my house...that's what I call sourcing your supplements! ;) ConsumerLabs? Nah, you meet the guys who grow the stuff.

I read the vitamin/supplement article in it's entirety and I do agree that Multivitamins are trash...filled with worthless synthetics. However, I felt she paints a picture that "all" supplements are "bad" and leaves out some key factors like quality/source of the supplements...they're is a huge difference between taking Centrum and high-quality vitamin D3. The vast majority of the supplements found at chain markets and Trader Joe's are considered very low-grade sources (Trader's carries them because they're cheap). I have found that incorporating a few very specific high-grade supplements (vitamin D3, co-enzyme B12 [not derived from cyanocobalamin], etc.) can work wonders for active individuals (particularly herbivores) who consume these supplements with healthy local/organic/market fresh meals.

People will usually crinkle their nose up at the thought of salad, but the second they see my lunch they're jealous ;) I second the point about seeing is believing.

I'll be posting a follow-up next week with a Starter's Kit for people looking to get a Salad Club going in their offices. Don't worry if it starts out with only 2-3 people. That's how ours was the first week. The more people started SEEING our salads, the more people we got joining. :) Yay! Thanks for linking my Salad Club article!

I'll explore. But I'm pretty sure my husband already emits a greater portion of methane than a prize cow at a State Fair. Great links! I’ll explore.
