Types of Food Fortification
The 4 main methods of food fortification (named as to indicate the procedure that is used in order to fortify the food):
- Biofortification (i.e. breeding crops to increase their nutritional value, which can include both conventional selective breeding, and modern genetic modification)
- Microbial biofortification and synthetic biology (i.e. addition of probiotic bacteria to foods)
- Commercial and industrial fortification (i.e. flour, rice, oils (common cooking foods))

“God gave the righteous man a certificate entitling him to food and raiment, but the unrighteous man found a facsimile of the same in God’s coffers, and appropriated it, and obtained food and raiment like the former. It is one of the most extensive systems of counterfeiting that the world has seen.”
