Watching people marry their rapists on TV may turn out to be bad for your health – provided you’re eating while you’re watching. As seen on ScienceDaily a few days ago, new research suggests why Americans are so much fatter than the French:
Because they use internal cues — such as no longer feeling hungry — to stop eating, reports a new Cornell study. Americans, on the other hand, tend to use external cues — such as whether their plate is clean, they have run out of their beverage or the TV show they’re watching is over.
What. The. Hell?
You keep eating until Jerry gives you his parting thought? Or until you see the Harpo logo? (Or, in my case, until the word LOST smacks up on the screen). It’s tragic, and yet kinda makes sense, because we’ve all eaten in front of the TV (or do it regularly), and you can kinda see what they’re talking about.
Science at work.
This is the end of the post. You can stop eating now.
