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.
