Men and vitamins?
So I was chatting with my favorite Uncle Steve on Friday over coffee and he mentions that he missed taking his vitamins today. I was all “Whoa Steve, hold the phone! Guys actually take vitamins?” and Steve assured me that they do. He even showed me his vitamin collection and I was very impressed; it’s robust without being excessive - not unlike Uncle Steve himself.
I don’t know why it struck me as so unusual but I never thought of vitamins as a guy thing as I’ve only ever seen women take them. I don’t take them myself - I’ve chosen to believe that I will be under the age of 30 when the Second Coming hits (this world view helps keep my life joyfully uncomplicated :)), so projecting into my long-term health enough to start taking vitamins is difficult for me. It’s also the reason I don’t wear sunscreen.
But, is it common for guys to take vitamins or is Uncle Steve a (healthy and well-supplemented) anomaly? He tells me that he isn’t but I remain unconvinced.

I’m not so sure. So far all we’ve discovered is that men who share the name of Steven (unless there’s another bald man over there) take vitamins. This whole thing could be morphing from an anomaly to a phenomenon.
I dunno about other guys, but I don’t take vitamins. I believe I get enough vitamins in my healthy food.
One guy in our home takes plenty of flacseed. 
It’s an American thing. The rest of us just eat veggies.
Yo the blue pills make you bigger
I knew if I just waited long enough, you would comment, Uncle Steve. Meaning is restored to my life now.
Hi Jules; As this male-vitamin-taking-anomaly has clearly disturbed you, I feel the need to enlighten you that in a certain home which you will soon come to know well, on the window-sill there is a vitamin collection, at least half of which belongs to a very much male (and bald) home member who shall remain nameless.
And it was my dad who told me about echinacia…(yes, i know I spelt that wrong)….so yes, real men do.
