Researchers at Cornell University have examined shopping while hungry.
May 6/New York/ABC News -- Researchers at Cornell University have examined shopping while hungry. Not only does filling up a food cart while on an empty stomach lead to out of control snacking in the short term, it may condemn the shopper to an entire week's worth of unhealthy eating.
The Cornell researchers followed 68 shoppers as they clicked through an online grocery site that offered a mix of healthy choices -- including fruits, vegetables and lean meats -- and unhealthy, high calorie snack foods like candy, chips and soda.
