    If you have potatoes or onions in your diet, you’re probably safe.

    It’s hilariously easy to not get scurvy unless you’re on a 18th century ship, an arctic expedition, or trying to get it.

        Unironically probably yes, even if that was all your intake. The amount of Vitamin C you need to prevent scurvy is incredibly small. It really is a disease you can’t get unless you’re trying for it anymore. Like, fries and onion rings have like 2 mg of Vitamin C per serving, and you only need 10 mg a day to stave off scurvy.
