Is there room for me on that soapbox with you,

Especially when you consider all the other foods we eat, that are much much higher in % fat content. So many avoid whole milk, yet it's pretty darned low in fat, when compared to so many other foods we eat that are so fat filled!

Are Vitamins A and D added to milk in the USA? Health Canada mandated the fortification of milk years ago (in the 70s, I think?) to ensure that we get the much needed benefits of both.
