Food myths and fads, sentence 3

Not every food tip is a fad: in the dreich, dark Scottish winter (dreich means grey and drizzly) Kirsty's mum gives her a vitamin D drop, because UK advice says everyone should think about it in autumn and winter, so the trick is to follow real advice, not fads either way.

Who acts: food tip, dreich, mum, UK advice, everyone, trick · What happens: not be, mean, give, say, think, be · To what, where: fad, D drop, dreich · Speech: someone speaks here
