Genuine question: so how do we fix nutrient deficiency for vast majority of people world-wide?
It's probably not a feasible solution to require these people eat healthy nutrient-rich foods due to economical and culture and personal choice reasons. Are vitamin supplements a feasible solution?

Fancier/healthier, more "natural", choices are not fortified. Alternatively, a multivitamin intrinsically yields the same results.
