It's really not her fault.

She didn't tell me to not each spinach or chick pea or beans or raisins or prunes.

I was also surprised since I take a daily vitamin. But, I checked the label. 0% of my daily allowance of Fe. ZERO!!! Damn Kirkland and Costco!!! So I've changed my vitamin, too.

And, while I might have a monthly burger indulgence. And, a steak every few months. I will not be eating all that much more red meat than usual. The only addition will be an occasional chili con carne. But, I'll be having more vegetarian and not less as I add more falafel, spinach, kale, beans, etc., etc.

So when I donate again come Aug/Sept, my blood drop's ponderous descent should shatter the vial! [in a matter of speaking]
