New Meaning For "Mass Services"

A study conducted by Northwestern University found that young adults who attended religious events were far more likely to become obese than those who didn't, according to reports.

The study followed 2,433 men and women starting between the ages of 20 and 32 for 18 years. Study subjects were all of normal weight at the beginning of the study. By the end, however, those who had attended a religious function at least once a week were more likely to be obese, posting a body mass index of 30 or higher.
