Giving up connectivity is hard to do. Apparently, it’s especially hard to do for the 8% of participants in a recent survey that declared that they would rather give up eating than give up cable, cellphones or internet.

AdAge commissioned a survey from Ipsos Observer, asking 1000 Americans whether they’d be more willing to give up their cable, cellphone or internet. Aside from the 8% who probably need to leave the house more often, 49% said that cable would be the easiest habit to break, with 37% going for cellphone and only 6% saying internet (Yes, that’s right: More people would be willing to give up eating than give up the internet).
