>>Providing the soil the plants were grown in are not depleted of
minerals... Plants don't create minerals. They absorb them so if the
minerals are not in the soil, they won't be in the food plant.
Meat has quite a few minerals in it. <<
Meat animals can't create minerals, either, you know.
Generally, plants need all the same minerals animals do, with a few
notable imbalances (plants need more boron and less selenium, iron, and
zinc in their cells than animals). In general, plants simply do not
grow well in "mineral depleted soil," so it's not a big problem.
Farmers replace minerals as needed to keep crop yields up. The plant
tissue which does grow, is usually fine. Most of the hype about
"mineral depleted soils" comes from people who want to sell you mineral
pills. About the only mineral animals need that plants don't, is
iodine. And cobalt, if you count B12.
