Er .. fascinating but totally irrelevant. It is the upside down logic of this ruling that's in question. The ruling in short says that if you produce the natural product skimmed milk you must describe it as artificial unless you artificially add vitamins. In other words you can only call it natural if it's artificial!

Nobody's arguing that enhancing the vitamin content of milk is a bad thing in itself, although you should be aware that the practice is not one adopted by many countries outside USA, and certainly not in UK. All anyone's saying is that if, in the state of Florida where, let's face it, you have to work pretty damned hard to get neither enough sun nor dietary vitamin D, people want to sell or buy natural milk products they should be allowed to do so without having to pick through obscure and deliberately misleading descriptions.

I do have to wonder how you hold the following two statements to be both true?

Well, yeah, it does, in milk. The fortification of milk is supplementary not introductory! Also, not just fish, salmon and tuna principally, but eggs, mushrooms, pork, tofu, and cheeses, especially ricotta! Also there are plenty of other fortified foods available including orange juice, and breakfast cereals.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!
