What’s with the fruit?<\/h2>\n

The fruit represents my nickname, Scurvy. Many years ago, I was in a summer camp in the town that I grew up in, one of those that’s supposed to keep us kids out of trouble. I was given this nickname by a guy named Sean Palmer (name not changed, to expose the guilty). It’s probably based on my last name (Scriven, remember.), but he’s never really told me why he named me after a disease. At the time, and for many years afterwards I actually didn’t like him, for that one reason, but since I started to train with him, when I was about 16 or so, I’ve realised that he’s a cool guy.<\/p>\n

BUT, enough about That… Now that I have the nickname I’ve taken a liking to it. Scurvy is, as you know, the disease that comes from a lack of Vitamin C in your diet. The sailors used to get it a lot crossing the oceans without fresh fruit.<\/p>\n

This page is dedicated to all the fruit and veggies that give you large amounts of Vitamin C, and thus combat Scurvy. It doesn’t, however, get rid of me.<\/p>\n

2014 WordPress Update: I’ve realised just how old this page is, I had collected the various images here because there weren’t many available online… in 1996ish when this page first started. I’ll keep this images for historical reasons, but if you really want more pictures follow the links!<\/p>\n

2019 WordPress Update: Old yanked pictures were lost in a move, so I’ve re-captured them. Added some new ones of new fruits and vegetables too.<\/p>\n
