Food should not be stuffed with vitamins, overdosing on many vitamins is detrimental to one's health.
We have a vitamin craze fueled by multimillion dollar business opportunity and people who are careless suffer.
Food companies should not add to that.

Most foods are enriched with a minimal amount of vitamins, I don't think one would overdose on vitamins from food.

So don't buy Ovaltine or don't buy vitamin supplements. Why do they need government to wipe their butts?

So, are you saying the government should have the right to ban something they find unhealthy? Sorry, I understand warnings about foods, but I do not want my government telling me what I can and can not consume. Gee maybe you think the government should decide who need vitamins. Would that work? I think not!!!!! Heck studies can't even tell us how much of this or that we need. Today it is one thing and tomorrow something else.

Such bans are not on consumption, but rather on sale and distribution. But heck that was a cute attempt to deceive casual readers about the nature of what is being discussed and a cute attempt to deflect attention away from the fact that what you're effectively defending is the "right" for manufacturers, distributors and retailers should to put out all manner of worthless and potentially harmful crap, in the interest of making profit off of the general population's baser aspects. You should be getting your "Profits over People" decoder ring in the mail any day now.

If everyone felt this way our foods would undoubtedly be full of poisonous additives. I could only hope for MORE government oversight to keep our foods "relatively" free from contamination. You know, my food stores are full of American imported foods. I NEVER buy them at all. I have zero trust in foreign foods precisely because of people like you who wish to have their foods full of who knows what!!!
Hey it's done them so much good with the height of their basketball players and all. Cripes.
Growth hormones to accelerate the growth of chickens fer chrissake, then we eat that chit?
See any mention of antibiotics and those hormones fed to various animals listed in the ingredients list? NOPE!
Ever wonder why more resistant strains of bacteria develop?
You're too freak'n stupid to understand your food providers work to the same "for profit" guidline your medical establishment does; how's that turned out for you so far.
In spite of any government regs, there all kinds of dangerous/ unhealthy foods on the market that it deems fit for consumption.
Its funny and creepy at the same time that people look to governments to tell them whats okay to ingest.
