Food lovers are love cheats, claims dubious research

Now, Kitchen Rat gets sent a lot of crappy e-mails every day, but a press release that dropped into the inbox today really takes the biscuit.

"Do you have a taste for good food and wine?" it asks. "If so, you may be more likely to cheat (on your partner)."

Who says?  Those fine upstanding citizens at illicitencounters.com, "the UK's largest extra-marital dating site", that's who.

And how did the website come to this conclusion? It analysed the stated interests of its 310,000 members and 'Food and wine' was at number one, with around 144,000 members. Just below was 'Movies and Cinema' (142,000 members). 

Scientific then.

Funnily enough, "getting your rocks off with Debbie from accounts in the back of your Ford Focus" wasn't mentioned as a main interest of the philanderers on the website.
