Why is forcing everyone to consume something man-made a better idea than educating a specific ethnicity of women who are sexually active to look out for their own health? What if a man wants to eat corn tortillas without added crap in California?

It's literally on the second page. >For nearly 30 years, folic acid, a key B vitamin, has been required to be added to enriched wheat and white breads, cereals and pastas in the U.S. >Decades of research show the 1998 requirement cut rates of serious defects such as spina bifida and anencephaly by about 30%, preventing about 1,300 cases a year. It is regarded as one of the top public health triumphs of the 20th century. >But corn masa flour, a staple used in Latino diets, was left out of the original fortification requirement — and rates of conditions such as spina bifida and anencephaly in that community have remained stubbornly high.
