Bread and TV both have been mentioned--Making bread, for some reason, makes you feel really good(even if you don't use it as a punching bag) and commercial television can make you feel really bad--

Uncut movies, theatre, and concerts on public television or cable can actually be therapeutic, but the commercial stuff (especially CNN and that sort of thing) is like a binge on Little Debbie cakes, Barbeque Pringles, Pop Tarts, and circus peanuts--
