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.
