Those hamburger ads between your favorite sitcoms may have a bigger affect on your diet than you might think. A recent study in the Journal of the American Dietetic Association analyzed what would happen if someone ate a 2,000 calories diet consisting of the foods shown during prime-time and Saturday morning TV.
