Ick...

Fish ingredient might be introduced to a variety of foods. I could care less about the bacon, fish, forumula, and ham. I want my OJ and bread left alone.

Fortunately, I doubt I really have to worry. It's not like I can buy most store-bought bread, anyhow.

I really don't think enrichment is the solution to widespread malnutrition. I think education is a much better option. I'd say that those who can't be bothered to eat properly will just fall victim to natural selection, but I'm not sure that's fair to those who are too poor to buy enough food.

From wholehealthmd.com:

However, a third omega-3, called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), is found primarily in dark green leafy vegetables, flaxseed oils, and certain vegetable oils. Although ALA has different effects on the body than EPA and DHA do, the body has enzymes that can convert ALA to EPA. All three are important to human health.


So spinach can be a viable substitute for fish in this case, and won't turn vegans and other fish-averse individuals away from their juices. :)

The fact that vegetarian alternatives exist doesn't mean manufacturers will use them. Some of the Vitamin D used to enrich milk is fish-derived. There might even be Vit D enriched OJ these days. I'm not sure, as I don't buy OJ often enough to pay attention. When I do buy OJ, I buy unenriched, super-pulpy.

It's probably cheaper to use fish, too.

They do have vitamin-D enriched OJ. I just saw it for the first time a few weeks ago.

And you like super-pulpy orange juice? Nasty...the thought makes me want to gag!
