Yeah you pretty much have to eat nothing but hardtack and certain varieties of fish to get scurvy. It's certainly possible today, but since so many people eat potatoes it's usually a nonissue in the developed world.

Seriously, the human bodies needs only a tiny amount of vitamin C to avoid scurvy. That someone can manage to develop it in this day and age is astounding.

If you have a tequila shot with fresh lime and salt, you're probably good for a couple of week. That's how little you need.

You know, Mountain Dew has concentrated orange juice as one of it's ingredients, so I would hazard it is more of a cola skew in the affected crowd.

Makes me wonder how many other deficiences would be common if we didn't fortify flour with a million nutrients(meaning people get something even if it's just through burger buns or pizza crusts or w/e).

Welp, bell peppers are rich in vitamin C, so no scurvy.

They're okay every once in a while, but they're salty as gently caress. They're also hilariously expensive for what they are.

Every time I looked the price per ounce was notably higher than other cheese crackers. Not that it stops me from buying them every once in a while, but the penny-pinching instincts run deep.

the cheddar/bacon cheez-it duos are actually really good. They taste nothing like bacon, but they are good.
