See a Salad, Eat a Burger

The next time you’re in a restaurant and see something healthy on the menu, consider your meal choice very carefully. New research shows that when you see a healthy item in a restaurant, you will more than likely order an unhealthy one.

Mind boggling, isn’t it?

They think that the act of seeing something healthy and briefly considering somehow makes it “okay” in our minds to go ahead and eat the thing that’s bad for you. Oddly enough, when a menu had only unhealthy items on it, people would then gravitate toward the one that is the most healthy out of the choices.

Say it with me: MIND BOGGLING!

But this just means that if we know our bodies naturally want to do this, we can then pay attention and make the right choice.
