Sorry, I don't know the discussion you're alluding to - just wanted  
to say that the success of that metaphor would depend on your  
audience! To me, the ABM companies are the ones selling the "vitamin  
pill" - a slickly-marketed, expensive, artificial, substandard  
replacement for real food.

We know from recent evidence (eg the CARET trial) that the vitamin- 
pill approach to nutrition is deeply flawed and has significant,  
sometimes quite dramatic risks.
