Chocolate Vitamins

Well, the American Idol controversy apparently sparked the readers back into action...so thanks for that at least. Still no word on the full-time-job-with-insurance front, so I had to do the old fall back and go to the school clinic today to have my foot checked out. I ended up with no answer, an x-ray appointment, another appointment next week, and an ankle-brace-naproxen-sodium-ice-pack-and-keep-it-elevated regimen in the meantime. Actually I went to the clinic yesterday, too, with LT to get his "medication check up" and then to Sam's to fill prescriptions before we lost them. They had a sample box on the counter of the semi-new "Viactiv" vitamins (www.viactiv.com) for women that are chocolate-tasting chewables...so I gave one a try. It was sort of like a chocolate caramel. Not bad, I thought...for something that is good for you. So I bought a box/can thingy of them (the multi-vitamin variety) and, well, they tasted better in the store. Nevertheless, they are tolerable AND good for me, so I will press on with their consumption. It's better than trying to choke down those huge multi-vitamin pills that catch on the way down...and a great idea in theory.

I did a Rachel comparative analysis and guess what? The chewable generic kid vitamin's have the exact same thing as the adult horse pills. And they're way better than horse pill and viactiv. So, I just take those.

Are they in the same quantity/doses and done on the same comparative calorie intake scale? I thought adults were supposed to have different needs. I used to love kids vitamins when I was little!

They were the same mg amounts. This was a few years ago. I found it odd, though. I once loved kid vitamins so much that I ate about ¾ of a bottle. Thank GOD they didn't have iron in them, or I'd probably be a dead girlie now. I was like 5. This might expalin certain things about me, though.
