So you don't like seafood?

  I should've said Earth instead of ground. I love seafood.

      dunno but i doubt their food is as processed as most of the food in the US is.

I try to just keep up with the latest science without any regard for what's natural. I don't eat meat, I minimize non whole grains, I take Centrum, choline, and DHA+EPA Algae oil(Roughly equivalent to vegan fish oil as far as I can tell), and generally try to not eat a lot of food overall. I don't make any effort to avoid additives aside from a few like titanium dioxide. Unfortunately, I also have had a rather bad sugar and non excercise problem, and didn't start taking choline till recently.

  A choline supplement is certainly necessary for someone who does not eat any kind of meat. However, I strongly suspect that the official recommended daily intake of choline is wrong, because it is practically impossible for someone eating a healthy diet to reach that level of choline intake. Except for eggs, liver is the food with the highest content of choline, much higher than almost everything else. Nevertheless, it is impossible to eat enough liver daily to get enough choline, because that would require to eat an excessive amount of vitamin A. With eggs it would possible to get enough choline, but that would require eating 4 eggs every day, which is considered too much by many studies. I believe that the study that established the recommended daily intake of choline based on the appearance of fatty liver was flawed, because there must have been some other factor, in the diet or in the diseases of the monitored patients, which diminished their internal capacity of choline synthesis, so they required supplementation with a higher quantity of choline than most people. Among the extra minerals that vegans need, is also calcium. Some types of Centrum contain calcium, but not all of them. Most types of Centrum should include the other supplements needed by vegans and not explicitly mentioned by you, e.g. iodine, vitamin B12, vitamin D.

    Many micronutrient USRDA recommendations are mere guesses. Evidence is mounting that consuming the recommended 1g of calcium daily may actually be harmful for your health. Saturated fat - once painted as the enemy by doctors and nutritionists - has since been found to be negatively correlated with heart disease. I think before we get anywhere near trying to regulate or even recommend what people eat we first need to do a lot more study.
