Eat Like Crap, Then Take Yo Vitamins
I love vitamins. You can eat whatever the hell you want, and as long as you take a decent vitamin, you’re in-like-flynn. But the thing about vitamins is that your body doesn’t always absorb them. I’ve noticed that since my SCI, most of the vitamins just exit through my bladder.

They’re chewable and (the best part) they taste like candy. Your body can easily and completely absorb these babies. I even have a friend who had gastric bypass surgery and his doctor recommends them.
So in the spirit of these vitamins that everyone loves, watch this fantastic vintage Flintstones Vitamins commercial from 1972:
