Fattening Fasting: Hungry Grocery Shoppers Buy More Calories, Not More Food

摘要

Fasting, intended or unintended, is a common phenomenon. It can be self-imposed in the case of extreme dieting, religious fasts, and chaotic work schedules. It can be medically imposed in the case of fasting before blood draws or surgery. In extreme cases, it can be caused by external circumstances, such as food shortages, natural disasters, or poverty.
