They scared people out of spending a little bit of time in the sun because of skin cancer. Of course, they fail to say that the folks who get it are the ones who work out in it all day with no shirt, or otherwise expose themselves to the direct sunlight for hours at a time sunbathing like idiots, so they all slather themselves with sunscreen just to go out for five minutes, and then wonder why they're Vit D deficient.
You see this way they can charge you for vitamin d tests, I noticed that they are billed different from other blood tests, and then prescribe you supplements.
Is really good for business to keep people out of the sun.
Somewhat related, there was this kids book I read when I was a kid about a boy going from being a kid to young adult - it was the author himself and his childhood. One of the things that I did not get at the time was his inner-monologue about how sickly people in the big city looked, himself having been raised in a small farming village. I remember starting to notice it as a kid and I realize now it is in part do to lack of sun exposure.
