Watching action films is highly likely to make you overweight, according to U.S. researchers. There is some clear evidence that television is associated with obesity. Junk-food advertising and sedentary behavior are common agents of becoming fat. In addition, recent studies have suggested that people snack much more during action films. Scientists compared how much food was consumed during the 2005 action movie, The Island, with a show based on one-to-one interviews. They demonstrated that people ate nearly twice the amount of food by weight and consumed 65% more calories during the film.
