from vegans of color

The vitamin supplement craze has done the American public a huge disservice by making us believe we need to get 100% of our RDA/AI of vitamins and minerals in just one food item. This is a horrible and dangerous myth. Total cereal is fortified with 100% of the recommend daily allowance of most vitamins and minerals. So, once you eat a bowl of Total are you just supposed to eat nothing else for the day? No! Because 1 bowl of Total cereal will not provide you all the fiber, protein, carbohydrates, calories and phytonutrients you’ll need in a day. To get all these things and all the vitamins & minerals you need it is best to eat a varied diet. Whether you’re vegan or omni you shouldn’t eat the same thing day in and day out. You simply won’t get the amount of macro and micro-nutrients you need.
