While I was a bit leery of watching this, thinking I'd be bored silly of the constant vegan talk going on (which it does normally), this provided a fascinating account of the production of 'Nutralite" an additive supposedly made only with Alfafa, and other herbs and vitamins and lord only knows what else. But the production of Alfafa is featured here, it's grown, chopped, composted, dried and beaten into a pulp until it's mixed with other ingredients. (The exact combination is secret of course, as the narrator SHOWS where this is done, but we never go inside) soon, the stuff is mixed with minerals and then either put into pills or pulverized into a tablet format. Very interesting production shots shown here. Of course, what Nutralite is good for, is never really explained. Guess I'll have to talk to my Nutralite rep about it (after all, he is a member of my community!) Highly reccomended!
