Law and Order is Making Me Fat

According to new research by a professor at Erasmus University, people who are thinking about their own deaths want to consume more.

As in EAT MORE and SHOP MORE.

Here's the quote : “Consumers, especially those with a lower self-esteem, might be more susceptible to over-consumption when faced with images of death during the news or their favorite crime-scene investigation shows.”

Man. That explains EVERYTHING.

Great I'll blame my weight on Law & Order, my emotional issues on Grey's Anatomy and my money problems on 360 with Anderson Cooper.
*sigh*
I feel better already!
