In NEANDERTHIN, we discuss the importance of variety in one's diet. Variety
is what ensures adequate nutrient intake. Anyone who restricts their dietary
choices to a small number of foods is courting vitamin and/or mineral
deficiencies.

My comment about acquiring adequate B6 from meats was in response to someone
concerned about that particular vitamin. As my previous post suggests, it is
necessary to balance one's intake of all the B vitamins.
