When I was a kid, I was a sickly child and was frequently on medication. I’ve had enough experience in popping tablets and pills with no problem at all. This “skill” is now required as I need to take my daily supplements of vitamin C, calcium and magnesium pills. I almost always forget to take them and even when I remember, I get lazy and adopt the “take one less today won’t kill” attitude. So yes, I do save a lot of money as my supplements can last for months on end!
Lately I’ve been having dizzy spells and visits to the doctors have added to my collection of tablets to swallow. I now have iron and folic acid pills to take. When I last visited the doctor, he enquired if I have been taking my pills regularly and I had to admit that I didn’t. But Ray has discovered a way of making me take my pills daily – it’s either the pills or Yomeishu. I hate Yomeishu, so pills would be the lesser of two evil.
Do you notice that in this age and time, health supplements have become a matter of necessity rather than an item of luxury? In older generations when supplements are not heard of, people get on just fine with their lives and probably have longer life span than our current generation. Sure, we blame it on lifestyle changes, polluted environment and dietary problems. I’m not so sure myself.
So are you a pill-popper too?

There are times when I wish I dont have to depend on pills for my vitamins and minerals, but to be honest, pills tastes so much nicer compared to cooked carots or cooked tomatoes. i guess its the same as your yomeishu story. :)
evs, i don't taste those pills, just quickly swallow them up. so no taste is better than bitter taste. i gather you don't like veges huh? ;)
