Animal milk outside of not being ethically sourced, could really be a better product if it came lactose free and fortified with Vitamin D by default.

As someone who actually enjoys the taste of milk and does not consider it a white liquid of unimportant taste to be poured over or into something other: No. Lactose free milk certainly hasn't the better taste and isn't the better product except for the lactose intolerant.

You didn't read my comment correctly, didn't say it tastes better. It's just that lactose free being the exception and not the norm prevents lots of people from enjoying it. I don't have intolerance, it's quite rare in Europe. But it's a problem for lots of the world population, which is why I believe lactose free should be more present.

Nothing wrong with lactose, even with intolerance it's just unpleasant not unhealthy.

It would be good if vit d is in many more things but don't understand why it's milks job.

Good grass fed butter has some vitamine d.

But most natural food sources will have limited vit d.
