Sending kids out like that ( And adults too ), was considered good for them. Physical exercise, clean mountain air, and no chance of overheating ( Hot weather and exertion was feared to make one more susceptible to Polio or TB ).

It has nothing to do with sex of any kind. What would we do if we were timewarped back a century or two, to when no decorative scheme was complete without a few putti (naked little boys) cavorting about playfully? We'd die of shock, I guess. Oh, when can we have our innocence back? Is it hopeless? Will it never happen? Those kids in the snow are cool, by the way -- in more ways than one.

Those kids in the snow are cool, by the way — in more ways than one.

But I mis-read it, it says it is just ad adjunct for those who don't get much sun. Sorry, my bad. Blurgle-

Are you saying Vitamin D fortification is useless? Because it isn't. If you go back to before milk was fortified, half the children in far northern Russia and Canada had rickets. There is no significant sunshine for months in these areas. Since fortification of milk, child rickets has disappeared completely. Stannous, I’m confused.

Without the effects of sunlight (or at least creepy guy's sunlamps) it cannot be created by the body.
