According to a new study published Monday by the Pew Research Center, Americans enjoy watching television and eating. Our research indicates that residents of the United States take great pleasure in watching television, often for many hours at once, and enjoy eating food in large quantities, preferably several or more times per day, lead author Dr. Richard Cowell said of the study, which follows an earlier report that concluded the nation greatly prefers sitting to standing. Our findings also suggest Americans enjoy watching television and eating at the same time. According to the study, Americans do not enjoy being hungry or having no TV.
