Study Says: Long Hours Make Fat
Long work hours may make people fat. A new study says this. Scientists looked at 33 countries. They studied 30 years of data. The U.S. has long work hours. The U.S. also has high obesity.
Long hours give people stress. Stress makes the body store fat. Long workers do not have time to cook. So they often eat fast food.
Some people in the UK want a four-day week. They say it can help health. Other people are not sure. The UK government will not force this.
