With so much of the UK with living with unspecified malaise, some significant part of which likely contributing to their low employment participation rate, I suspect giving everyone vitamin D would be very cost effective.
- elemdos 10mo agoIdk I think most of it comes from the food
- firecall 10mo agoAs a conversational point, I do recall reading an article sometime ago about people moving to the UK from sunnier places, and then suffering from Vitamin D deficiency!

- monkpit 10mo agoSurely they meant that the malaise comes from the British food…
- astrange 10mo agoEnglish food tends to be better at home than at restaurants. Also, it tends to mostly be undefined brown lumps but it does have flavor and there are some spices. (mostly mustard) The exception is "Chinese takeaway", which is actually as bad as the stereotype.
- elemdos 10mo agoWell there is a growing Indian population so that might skew the statistics on home cooking lol. Anecdotally, by far the worst home cooking I’ve had was at the hands of a British couple; tasted like simmered dish water.
- astrange 10mo agoThere's actually an Orwell essay about this. https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/essays-and-other-works/in-defence-of-english-cooking/ https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwel... The thing I find odd about British restaurants is that all the Japanese chains (Wagamama, Itsu) have names that are so dumb it's like they're actively trying to be offensive.
