Thanks for that, Benway, it actually makes some sense.
As for the supplement, fortunately not every company in Australia is owned by American interests. I managed to find some B12 that was a) not contaminated by the recent Pan Pharmaceuticals (sp?) brouhaha (see previous journal entry) and b) produced by Blackmores, who aren't Aussie, but from New Zealand and that's close enough.
Something I was talking about with Gerg at one point - for countries that pride themselves on freedom of choice, the US and Canada don't appear to have that much. We were talking about healthy eating, and he was telling me how difficult it is to get stuff that is truly healthy and not produced by one of the Big Companies. Australia doesn't seem to have that problem - I've never had an issue with being able to find and alternative product to the big multinationals.
