As are many others these days, I am caught up in the nutritional supplement frenzy. I have purchased online, inline, mail order, phone order, and of course directly. I have succeeded in reaching the stage where on a daily basis I consume [at once] 17 pills of various exotic shapes and sizes. I am long past remembering which item is for which condition, pre condition, possible condition or probable condition. I no longer have any idea if the current magic 17 are at war with each other or cancel out any possible benefits that might be derived from them individually or on a smaller group basis. No surprise then that the other day while listening to a radio nutritionist re-inform me that my prostate would definitely attack me [if not within days certainly within months and absolutely within years], reacting appropriately I remembered that a nutritional supplement store had recently opened right down the street and thus immediately drove to the strip mall and was gratified to see that memory served and next to a party store was in fact a nutrition palace proudly advertising [by door stickers] "Newman's Own." A young woman approached and I inquired where the supplement section was and I was [by finger] directed to the rear of the store, where I was confronted by approximately 500 bottles of stuff, none having a recognizable name [at least none that were in my nutritional vocabulary]. To my right I then saw a sign stating "our newest products." I ambled over, removed my driving glasses, put on my reading glasses and looked more closely. I then found a bottle [the product name is now buried deeply in my psyche] whose bold print read FOR A BRIGHT WET NOSE. Looking further I discovered a bottle reading FOR A THICKER SHINIER COAT. Realizing I had happened upon a pet health food store, I started to slink out in embarrassment, but was approached by the previously mentioned sales person, who of course said, "May I help you." Which is how I come to own a bottle of each of the mentioned products - they are sitting next to my bed [not with all of my other supplements] and I am wondering, can a bright and wet nose be a bad thing? And why not have a thicker shinier coat?
