I had a bit of a chuckle there. My parents grew up in Cleveland and the newspaper would occasionally be 'give your kids cod liver oil!' with the number of days without sun posted as well. Very old school! As for supplements, I get tested and follow the recommendation here, opss.org

I was given Cod Liver Oil once a week when I grew up in the north where there was little sun light during the winter. Now I just make my endogenous Vitamin D from sun light exposure. I do not think I will live long enough to get skin cancer from my exposure.
