Yes, they are. That is all they are.

They're foods, not so-called.

Speak for yourself, assclown.

Wrong.

Vitamin and/or mineral supplements have two basic uses. The first is for acute
known deficiencies. The second is as a prophylactic to prevent deficiencies.
Both uses are medical in nature, and congruent with the manner in which
prescription medications are administered. Supplements are medicine. QED.

You face the same ultimate fate as your damn birds, birdbrain, regardless of
your diet -- probably sooner because of your peculiar and deficient diet.

Ever ask yourself why zoos, which feed animals their natural diets, have
veterinarians on staff?

Non sequitur.

Got a zoo nearby? Ask one of their employees -- especially a staff vet -- if
your remark is true. Or a vet will do, since they seem pretty up to date on
animal health. You're a ****ing nitwit.
