Giada de Laurentiis

Just because our idea of a hot Saturday night includes watching Giada's boobs giggle while she grates cheese over a big bowl of pasta, doesn't mean we're fat. Or does it?

An article from Fox News takes  on that very question. Are the endless hours of food television contributing the nation's obesity problem? The short answer is yes.

Actually it's the endless hours of television, not the fact that we're necessarily watching food television, that's to blame for our spreading couch crater.

The idea that food programming helps educate people on choosing and preparing whole, healthy foods probably outweighs (pun!) any damage watching pictures of chocolate cupcakes might be doing to our willpower.
