However they were still handing out this stuff for kids, along
with cod liver oil. I believe it became known as "welfare orange
juice" because it was handed out by the welfare clinics.

I used to like that orange juice, and the tablespoon
of malt every day. We had to take one penny to
school every day to pay for it. One tablespoon,
tied to the 'malt cupboard' with string, and shared
by everyone in the classroom.

It's one of my first memories - going with my mother to the office which
supplied the orange juice and cod liver oil. But we didn't get any
supplements by the time I went to school - only free milk.

And you've probably got a much better immune system as a result.

Rather more than that if you compare the heights etc of the baby boomer
generation to those who went before - mainly of course in poor city areas.
