I just picked up a book called In Defense of Food that's really interesting. I'm not very far into it, but so far, it seems to be mainly hitting on the fact that we choose nutrients over food. Once you isolate the nutrient, it loses something...the idea seems to be it's the "context" of the nutrient, not the nutrient itself. So just taking vitamins or taking something fortified with a vitamin it wouldn't normally have won't do a lot for you.
Um, squeeb...if you're using bacon to flavor the beans, it's not a totally vegetarian chili!
