After all, 100 percent fruit juice — sold in handy individual servings — has been marketed as a natural source of vitamins and calcium. Department of Agriculture guidelines state that up to half of fruit servings can be provided in the form of 100 percent juice and recommend drinking fortified orange juice for the vitamin D.

Whoa.
Pray tell, what juice naturally contains calcium? It's all added, so that the juice has some kind of nutritional value (other than the few vitamins in it, which quickly degenerate after the fruit is juiced).
The push to fortify orange juice with vitamin D makes it sound as if fortifying it with D will actually increase the body's vitamin D levels, despite being delivered with no added fats, since being a fat soluble vitamin, D can't be absorbed in the absence of dietary fat.

Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, offer juice for kids.

They're talking about WIC, which is the food supplemental division which allows additional provisions for pregnant or nursing women, infants and children. WIC checks name specific items each beneficiary is allowed. WIC does not permit fortified juices - just plain, 100% juice. Pure sugar with a fruity flavor.
