If you have potatoes or onions in your diet, you're probably safe.

Looks like I'm in the clear!

Unironically probably yes, even if that was all your intake. The amount of Vitamin C you need to prevent scurvy is incredibly small. It really is a disease you can't get unless you're trying for it anymore. Like, fries and onion rings have like 2 mg of Vitamin C per serving, and you only need 10 mg a day to stave off scurvy.

Got you, 5 servings of fries a day it is.

This is the kind of medical advice I like.
