Foods affect behaviors....

[Guest guest]

This is an interesting link about how a 20 year

Probation Officer decided to make a difference

in behaviors of " at-risk " students, through nutritional

food intake in a school cafeteria. Normal cafeteria

food was replaced with all foods prepared from

scratch. No junk or prepared foods. They noticed

an " almost immediate " change in behavior of these

" at-risk " students. Very interesting story!!!!

Especially when you consider how innocent/naive

they were to how foods " being available " to them

affected their behaviors, which contributed to their

at-risk status..........

 

" Super Size Me " -- the docu-movie about the

guy who ate nothing but McDonalds for a month?

Most interesting part was the segment on the

alternative school in the Appleton (WI) Area

School District for " at-risk high schoolers " .

 

Changing one school's cafeteria at a time could

obviously create major behavior changes in our society.

 

These affected kids could be free of:

-- at-risk labels,

-- being placed in special programs/schools,

-- decrease the need for these special programs/schools,

-- decrease the Probation enrollment and resulting

legal charges resulting from at-risk behaviors,

-- and being unnecessarily drugged!!!!!!!!!

 

This nutritional lunch program is certainly worth pursuing.
