Play With Your Food

Eat. Drink. Play. That's all that matters to the gamer. Unfortunately, the only thing we gamers really do is, well, game. After leveling up, we should be pretty hungry. We should deserve a meal as large and balanced as the one fed to our characters before a quest. But after hours of exploring new realms and sinking blades into orcs, we stuff a few Doritos in our mouths and down it with some Mountain Dew. That's enough to fuel us into another night of gaming, so we keep doing it. Some gamers don't have the willpower to spend 12 hours gaming on only energy drinks, so they end up ordering a pizza or some other form of greasy take out.

Summed up, gamers don't eat well.

But does a gaming lifestyle need to lack decent food, or even food for that matter? Is there something, anything, that can fuel gamers while not taking too much time out of gaming? Are there cheap, but easy foods which won't leave our controllers covered in grease?

Play with Your Food looks into the foods of the gaming culture, food and gaming advertising, and the history and role of food in video games. So take a break from your gaming to have a snack and catch some news for gamers and foodies.
