Yeah...that's a really effective use of tax dollars. We should also insist that money be spent on investigating the real cause of beri beri and scurvey.

Scurvy? Homosexual behavior, no doubt. All those long sea voyages, no women ... I bet the nautical establishment, led by the British Royal Navy, started the whole "fresh fruit" thing as part of their liberal agenda to homosexualize the armed forces. They're just trying to legitimize their lifestyle. I'm sure if they'd just cut back on the rum, sodomy, and lashings they'd get better.

Exactly. Also, note that 100% of all those sailors are now dead. CLEARLY it was Vitamin C that killed them.
