Fan to Fat?
Researchers found out that when fans watch «their favorite football
team loses lead them to consume less healthy food. These effects are

consequences of vicarious defeats disappear when supporters spontaneously
self-affirm or are given the opportunity to do so.” (Psychological Science).
