You where right!!!
Traxxasdude-- go check your science books!! Yes we get minerals from the soil....... Plants take in minerals to help them grow, which intern makes them rich in minerals....... how do we get the minerals..... we then harvest and eat the plants...... OR we butcher and eat the animals that ate the plants...... one way or another we get minerals from the soil......
On a not so closely related point--- where else would we get minerals, I mean we mine gold, magnesium, platinum, and yes even plutonium....... just to name a few.......
