We re-examine three-dimensional gauge theory with a Chern-Simons term in which the Lorentz invariance is spontaneously broken by dynamical generation of a magnetic field. A non-vanishing magnetic field leads, through the Nambu-Goldstone theorem, to the decrease of zero-point energies of photons, which accounts for a major part of the mechanism. The asymmetric spectral flow plays an important role. The instability in pure Chern-Simons theory is also noted.
