What I'd like to see is a more thorough listing of every nutrient.  It's great that Vitamin D and other nutrients will be listed, but I don't believe it's wise to drop Vitamins A and C.  Manufacturers will have to change their labels anyway. How much more costly would it be to put in every nutrient?
