This could be resolved if kids could play more video games outside.

    Actually I just read a really interesting study suggesting that the more dark your skin is, the more healthy is the Sun for you. Perhaps that's the root of this problem. Here in Mexico you hear a lot about not getting too much sun, but most of us are really pretty dark skinned, perhaps we'll have the same vitamin D problem in the future, if we don't have it already.

  most milk is fortified with vitamin D but, the 400 units that is added is way too small to have much of an effect; 15 minutes in the sun will give about 10,000 units.

"The researchers conclude their report by recommending that all children and teens take a Vitamin D supplement on a daily basis to ensure that their bodies have enough Vitamin D to maintain healthy growth."

All this is is a commercial for a supplement company. Get your kids from sitting in front of the TV, put down the video games and take them outside in some sunlight. It's that simple.

Kids need to go outside and soak up some sun instead of sitting indoors playing video games/watching TV!

It is actually a problem with adults too. Some problems of aging could be related to vitamin d.
