Instead they told you to stay indoors, out of the sun so you got even less vitamin d. Oh, and China fucked up our meat processing plants, that they own, so there was less meat (ie zinc) to go around.

The government could have provided/encouraged zinc and vitamin d supplements -- but my guess is they didn't want to risk peoples testosterone levels balancing out after decades of estrogen-infused foods and water they used to feminize the next generations.
