During the experiment, experts checked the impact of such shows. As a test, a group of volunteers were also given a nature program to watch.. Apparently, cooking shows really influenced eating behavior, provoking the desire to eat a high-calorie product..

In total, American psychologists from the Gobart and William Smith Colleges recruited 80 volunteers.. 50% watched a program about cooking delicious food. At the same time, the participants were given three bowls. One had chocolates, the second had a cheese snack, and the third had carrots.. At the end of the experiment, the scientists looked at how much the weight of each bowl had decreased..

It turned out that cooking shows not only inspired people to culinary exploits, but also pushed them to sweet, fatty foods.. So, while watching a cooking show, people ate more chocolates than while watching a nature program..

In turn, people from the group watching the nature program preferred carrots.. Scientists say even programs designed to teach a person how to lead a healthy lifestyle and cook healthy food can negatively affect eating behavior.
