No, a Big Mac and a 32 oz. Coke is not healthy because you had a salad with it.

However it is more than likely that the lack of sunlight is what makes the vitamin D deficiency stand out more than the other nutrients lacking in gamers, we get a large portion of our vitamin D intake directly from the sun. @ madison

But I don't think that they're choice of beverage is directly related to playing video games. The majority of them would probably drink mountain dew whether they were gamers or not. @ Madison

True. But I don’t think that they’re choice of beverage is directly related to playing video games. The majority of them would probably drink mountain dew whether they were gamers or not.

You might wanna check your statistics first. Uhhh…I believe the lack of vitamin D is related to lack of sunlight due to staying indoors playing video games, as opposed to not eating food.
