A new study* by Wonderful Pistachios suggests that as we gather around the TV to watch the sport this summer, including Test, One-Day International and Twenty20 cricket, the lean athletes we see on the track and pitch will not be motivating us into changing our bad eating habits. According to the study we are most likely to be grazing on unhealthy snacks when we tune in to follow the sport on TV. Our top three favourite snacks, when watching sport, are crisps, chocolate and biscuits, with only 17% of respondents choosing to snack on healthy fruit.
