Trading Pies

I read a story about a high school girl whose parents sent her to school each day with a good sized balanced and healthy lunch. The story goes that she ended up with scurvy because she would trade all of her good food for deserts. Maybe it’s a myth. But I was able to get more meal to my meals in the Army by trading pies. I just didn’t want the ones I was issued and found it very easy to get more meat or cheese for my sweets. I don’t think I gave anyone scurvy though.
