Winnie,

Both Mead Johnson and Ross make a nutritional supplement - Ensure and
Boost (Can't remember who is which.  Both were offered to my mother in a
nursing care facility and to my husband pre and post heart transplant.)
Appropriate for those with health issues that compromise their
nutrition.  Ridiculous for healthy, active adults.  This issue irritates
me no end.
