Supplements and Twinkies. Although we did not set out to do so, we seemingly have covered both ends of the nutrition spectrum this month. Then again, perhaps said spectrum is more circular than one might assume. After all, while people may slam Twinkies for being far removed from today's "clean eating" fad, nothing is more refined than taking a food and stripping it bare of everything but a single nutrient - or synthesizing that nutrient from scratch - and putting it in a pill at an unnaturally high concentration for our consumption. Remember, foods are neither "good" nor "bad," and unless you have a food allergy, intolerance, or medical condition that requires dietary limitations, all foods have their place.
