    You're right, I misspoke. I was mixing up my arguments with respect to
    agriculture and dairy, and actually I'm very glad you mentioned it...

    To clarify: we fortify dairy products with D to prevent *rickets*, and we
    fortify agricultural products with B to prevent *pellagra*.

    Notice that we fortify both food categories artificially to make them
    worthwhile components of the American diet. They have little intrinsic
    value.
