    there do exist people with specific dietary needs and nutrient deficiencies for which “just supplement bro” is not a realistic solution.

    how the hell does that work

    at worst maybe we don't have the right form of supplement YET but you don't need magical food essence to absorb stuff

      Supplements may not be as bioavailable as food forms. For example, some people have trouble absorbing iron even from organic chelated iron supplements, but much more readily absorb iron from liver.
