They’ve said for years 15 min of sunlight a day gives you enough Vit D, kids play outside, so what about that fact?

The fact about that fact is that it's not a fact. The sun must be high in the sky for our skin to make vitamin D. In most of the United States the sun never gets high enough for much of the year.

Not surprised. Here in phx I’m sure we’re getting that sun, they aught to do a study to see whether we have kids with anemia much here.
