This only enforces the belief that it is vitamins and minerals and calorie counts that matter, when it is more real food that people should be eating. The government should be putting the money in promoting real fresh food, local producers and farmer's markets, not enabling food processers to put more crap on the market.

I am not a big of fortification because we are just adding more processing to things and generally those things still aren't good for you. I don't care how much vitamin C coke had, it is still overall a bad choice compared to tea. I do know this is starting to hit Canada more now as I recently was contacted by Nestea vitao to do a review of their new product which is exactly as you describe. It is an iced tea that contains medicinal ingredients. I turned it down because it isn't a good fit for me but I am totally still curious. Interesting post.
