Thinking increases your appetite

Image...
Researchers offered students as much food as they could eat after having them either relax, summarize a text or take memory and attention tests on a computer. Although doing the intellectual work only burned three more calories than being sedentary, those who had completed the cognitive tasks ended up consuming over 200 calories more from the unlimited buffet.

    Knowing my country, we probably need to think more.

    Thankfully I have a valid excuse for overeating now: I just think too much!!!

    That is kind of odd... this is good for people who want to skip the "freshman fifteen"

    high fructose corn syrup does the trick as well...and many other harmful things...
    Didn't you ever wonder what were all those chemicals in your "food"? Look em up sometime...
    like aspartame(diet sodas, sugar substitute), bht(in chex mix), phenylalanine(juices...especially for children) and flouride.

    pretty scary stuff

    Wow - High fructose thinks?
    or High fructose is a deity?
    or High fructose makes you 'more' hungry than if you had not eaten it..???

    sorry I'm rather confused - clearly I haven't been eating enough... or was it the other way around?

    Mmmm

    Oh no, really fat people are going to start demanding that they are super inteligent thinkers and try and take over the world!
    Everybody, find a small place to squeeze into and hide.
