Why We May Pig Out On Junk Food….

According to a new study, pride in an achievement sometimes leads people to indulge in unhealthy choices -- like pigging out on junk food.

The researchers found that people who experienced pride in a sense of achievement were more likely to choose French fries over a salad with their lunch entree.

They also found that happiness, another positive emotion, did not have the same effect on the choice as pride did.
