I hate the condescension (Score 1)

Indulge me for a moment. I donate blood. As I am O- (a universal donor), they would like me to donate "double-blood". For that I need my hemo level slightly higher than regular donation (13.5 rather than 12.5). A couple of times in a row, I failed this Iron test. I am a vegetarian and have been one all my life. It seems low iron is a problem for most vegetarians. I asked the nurse what I could do about it. She gave me a list of things to eat that would up my Iron intake. The problem was the only thing Vegetarian in that list was Spinach. I like Spinach, but I am no Popeye. I refuse to eat that shit everyday. The other thing I could eat was Eggs. Again, I do not like to eat more than 2-3 a week. So she suggested I get myself a vitamins+minerals supplement. DUH. I felt like an idiot. See, I always thought that my eating habits were really good and I do not need any 'supplements'. Turns out I was wrong. Also, I live alone and cannot eat a nutritionally 'perfect' meal all the time. I realised I probably would need this vitamins and minerals supplement for the rest of my life. I found that the best was a Mutivitamin+mineral supplement targeted for Women (obviously). It looked kinda weird seeing a hairy, bald guy buying Women's vitamins; but I sucked it up and bought some! The result is that I have not failed this test ever since. Turns out, guess what; I thought I was eating right when I was not. So a BIG FU to the writers of this article. This bald, hairy, ugly Indian Mofo is going to keep buying my multivitamins+minerals supplement for the rest of my life. I am going to have one every morning as soon as I finish brushing my teeth. So these Annals of IM writers can kiss my hairy ass. I am pissed because of the condescension in the original article. "May even be harmful".
