I would hope that anyone could see how easy it was to inject chemicals into something you eat, and give it a fancy name to make it feel healthy. I mean, I have little faith in humanity as it is, especially as far as English speaking folk go. However, to misconstrue the meaning of "fortified" just seems silly.
