TV Shows That Make You Fat - Study: Crime Shows Cause Weight Gain (VIDEO)
Study: Crime Shows Cause Weight Gain

The U.S. is getting fatter and now a study indicates crime television may be a big, fat, contribution to overeating. ‘Law and Order,’ all the CSI’s, ‘Cold Case,’ ‘The Closer,’ and all of their respective reruns makes it nearly impossible to avoid the brutal banquet of bulging bio-mass blitz on the tube. The Journal of Consumer Research says must-bleed-tv makes us want to shop and eat more, contributing to weight gain.

“We found that when people think about the fact that they’re going to die someday — not now, but someday — they want to consume more of everything,” says Naomi Mandel, co-author of the study and an associate professor of marketing at Arizona State University. “We find this with snacks and drinks but also all kinds of different foods: frozen foods, meats, vegetables, everything.” (msnbc.msn)

@Marissa: Bianca is probably yelling at her screen "No. No. No. Don't encourage him." If it wasn't for alliteration and puns, I couldn't make it through the day. But thahk you.
