<Functional foods are defined as any food that provides health benefits

foods enhanced with omega-3s, from fortified juice to eggs produced
by chickens fed omega-3s in their grain.>

The main function of so-called Functional Foods is the
making of a profit for its manufacturers.

Sally Fallon, bless her wise heart, would place so-called
functional foods firmly in the category "New-fangled foods".

That means, man-made concoctions based on the incomplete
and ever-changing knowledge of nutritional science. Today it
is Omega 3, what will the fad be tomorrow?

Margarine is not and never will be good food, no matter
what you add to it. Sally Fallon, author of "Nourishing
Traditions", believes new-fangled foods are to be avoided
in favour of whole foods, ideally soaked, sprouted or fermented
in traditional ways.

Chickens are meant to scratch in the dirt, get exposure
to sunshine, and eat worms, insects and whatever
greenery is around, including grass seeds.

Blueberries and raspberries were great foods long before
anyone could say anthocyanin or ellagic acid.
And so on.

If people need more of one particular vitamin or mineral,
go to http://whfoods.org, the website of George Mateljan.
It is full of information on which foods contain which vitamin,
mineral etc. Delicious recipes as well.

Never mind the function, eat FOOD!
