Canadian Researchers Say Hard Thinking Leads To Big Meals 150
Anti-Globalism writes with an excerpt from a story at Ars Technica, according to which "a preliminary study from a group of researchers in Quebec suggest that working on a computer may have an additional impact on our waistlines: taxing mental effort appears to cause people to eat significantly more food, even though it doesn't burn many more calories than sitting around and relaxing. The publication, published in a journal called Psychosomatic Medicine, arose from a pilot study that the researchers were performing in order to determine whether a potential connection between mental effort and eating was worth following up on."

So if I understand this right and thinking people put on weight, then thoughtless people should lose weight.
I'll go around being rude to other people and when they complain, I will tell them it is my special thoughtless diet.
The good news is, I didn't have to think very hard to work this one out. I can feel those pounds coming off already!

Since when IT became "knowledge based work"???
In our company IT is engaged in three major activities: spilling coffee on servers, checking cables and answering "NO" to all questions. None of that requires any "knowledge".
