I thought this article was just a tad bit off the mark for my lifestyle:

Eating too much? "Law & Order" may be guilty (PDF, 175 KB)

I like all three Law & Order shows (the original, Special Victims Unit and Criminal Intent), but I don't sit around and eat with my eyes glued to the tube. In fact, I usually have the television on in the background as I work at my computer rather than sitting square in front of the set.

Mornings find me listening to the news on MSNBC and consuming large amounts of coffee, whilst the afternoons typically include reruns of Law & Order well after I've eaten lunch. If I do snack, it's usually a handful of sunflower seeds here and there and not piles of junk food.

Contrary to what people around the world may think, not all Americans stuff their faces and watch and television all day long. Stereotypes can be so misleading and unfair.
