Don't you read ANY of this stuff before you put it out on the net?

The prisoners, after four days of eating only sandwiches and biscuits,
developed SCURVY?!?!?! Come on! Scurvy takes months of vitamin
deprivation to develop. We've got folks in Appalachia and in ghettos
across the U.S. whose diets are more restricted than that over lifetimes
who don't develop scurvy.

Unfortunately, such wild misinformation immediately casts suspicion on
the data in the rest of the report as well.

That's not surprising, though. Most social activists have never let
truth stand in the way of a good story.
