I hadn’t ready that, but wouldn’t that just figure? What a waste then. I just worry that parents think the small amount in milk was just fine and I am not sure there is really much in cheese or yogurt either (and I bet if you quizzed parents they would say, sure, it’s also got just as much as milk so my kids are getting enough if they eat cheese). I don’t think it’s the govt’s business to force people to eat right, but I think that when they start interfering by doing things like putting vitamins in milk for instance, they give people a false sense of security. And in this case, they appear to have been wrong anyway.
This is exactly what happened to me: I thought upping my Vit D by drinking more milk (skim) and after several YEARS of doing that with no result, I found out it wasn’t “me,” it was the fact that the milk supplementation doesn’t really work.
Sigh.
Yes, you are right: if the government is going to do it, do it right.
