That's a bit of an exaggeration, Vitamin D does not require hours in the sun:

> Recommendations to Obtain Adequate Amount of Vitamin D.

> Sun exposure to the face, arms, hands, and legs without sunscreen for 5 to 30 minutes at least twice a week or more between the hours of 10 am and 4 pm

Now that's for most people: if you live in Alaska then during the winter maybe you need a litle more or something ... but the point is most people just need a little sun, < 30 minutes twice a week.
