I think I'd read about it - the BBC website has a couple of stories. I'm not much exercised either way, to be honest - I'd rather know what I'm consuming, I think it's unnecessary to class these as 'medicines' and I think it would be worse (slower and more bureaucratic) if the law were more detailed to exclude these. We don't have many 'mom and pop health stores' anyhow (I can't think of any as such unless you mean chemists [pharmacies], who don't rely on these at all), and I suspect most people get their vits from Boots/Superdrug, or maybe supermarkets. The Telegraph is our most RW and Euro-sceptic (IMO xenophobic) broadsheet, owned by that notable European Conrad Black. They'll be pushing it because they hate the EU on principle: most media moguls do as it promises to restrict their ability to monopolise, commercialise and dumb down. They're exaggerating in any case. 'Over 300 items' is not 'more than 90%' of the multi-vits, unless they're being very selective on what they count. I think GlaxoSmithKline, Zeneca etc are UK still...
