As a person living in Seattle (rains a lot!) who is of a darker skin color because of my race, I get told every now and then that I must be very lucky because I'm never going to be Vit D deficient.

I'm surprised that people think having darker skin color means I already have oodles of Vit D, when it's quite the opposite - people with dark skin color synthesize less Vitamin D on exposure to sunlight. I probably need lot more of that big ass star :)
