2010-08-30 Carole Carson: Is Television Priming Us to Be Fat

In their research, adults were shown a comedy show. During the program, some subjects saw junk food ads while others were shown nonfood ads. The subjects who saw the junk food ads engaged in additional eating. When they were asked why they were eating, they said they were hungry. However, they didnt eat the advertised junk food; they ate whatever was available. The researchers concluded that the advertising primed them to eat--but not necessarily to eat a specific foodand concluded that "people were eating without awareness that the ads were causing them to eat. "

2010-08-29 Mrs. Junkfood Cinema: Cutthroat Island and laquo; Film School Rejects

Pirates Booty is a supposedly healthier snacking alternative. However, like the movie, its mostly just flavorless fluff. To exact any real damage from this junkfood, you will have to, also like the movie, way overdo it. I suggest 3 to 4 bags for maximum heart-stopping effect. For adults, I recommend a healthy swill of the ol Captain right from the bottle. It might not be the best liquor in the cabinet, but its a sure bet that youll have a great time
