LOL! This poor guy managed to get scurvy in this day and age by eating nothing but fries and meatballs for half a year. If you don’t know, curvy is an old-timey sailors disease caused by a deficiency of vitamin C in the diet. It causes weakness, fatigue, swollen and bleeding gums, joint pain, shortness of breath, and easy bruising. Without treatment, scurvy can progress to more severe symptoms including anemia, gum disease, and ultimately, death. Please eat your fruits and vegetables kids!
He got scurvy by avoiding real food during a *road trip*?! How long was that freaking road trip?!?! Who takes a months’ long road trip?
I think this is some strange new meaning of “road trip” with which I was not hitherto acquainted
I would not be shocked if anyone who thought that eating only things you can cook with your car was a good idea already had a suboptimal diet; not bad enough for full blown scurvy, but enough for that to tip them over the edge relatively quickly.
