Why not go for a walk on the beach, grab some of this stuff and dry it and grind it, voila you have the supplement sold in Europe @ $90 p/lb for free. The article says it grows wild on Pacific and Atlantic coast.

What is it with the internet and bacon? I like it too, but come on you guys. This has gone on since elementary school.
