I’ve been sick all week with a second bout of sinus congestion + headache and all over body aches.  I’m just thankful this didn’t turn out to be sinusitis, read more where I’m usually out cold for at least 2 weeks.

But this brings me to vitamins, website like this and how the average American may consume their daily fix of vitamins and minerals.  Yes…look very closely…Diet Coke Plus contains vitamins and minerals.  Not sure to what amount of the daily recommended dose though.  I took this photo at a Publix in Fort Myers, Florida.  I haven’t come across this type of Coke in the GTA (yet).

On closer look (and a quick and dirty google search), Wall Street Journal wrote back in 2001 about how multinationals have been dispensing vitamins and minerals by fortifying popular drink products sold in developing countries – benefiting the local population and “extending [their] relationships” – or does that mean boosting sales?  What about the big picture about good nutrition with basic foods?  I’ve noticed in Thailand, many mothers feed their kids under 5 years fortified milk products by Nestle, for example, but allow amazing amounts of sugar products in their diets too.
