The Way Nature Intended? WTF?

So I am driving around town and I see a sign for Fabutan. Their signs are always amusing, promoting the benefits of exposing yourself to radiation. Today's example is particularly funny. More and more evidence is pointing towards Vitamin D as being key to health, especially in northern latitudes (such as Calgary). Normally produced by exposure to sunlight, this is in short supply in the Great White North half the year. So what does Fabutan do? Claim that their artificial bulbs are the way to get "Vitamin D - the Way Nature Intended It!"

Ummm...no. That would be getting outside more. Maybe you want to tan, but a week in Mexico is a far better alternative. Better scenery too!
