Another Reason to "Got Milk?"


Grocery giant Kroger announced a new cholesterol-cutting milk, part of their Active Lifestyle brand.

The trend for food fortified with health benefits beyond simple nutrition, called "phood," or pharmacuetically-enhanced food, or "nuetracueticals" -- is going to be huge with older Boomers.

Boomers recall how Wonder Bread "builds strong bodies 12 ways," and they are now at an age where they'll be looking for products that can help them maintain their vitality.

Given that the fortified milk costs the same as regular milk, tastes the same and delivers this health benefit, who wouldn't buy it?
