If a poor diet were the cause of academic delay and failure, results would be very simple to adjust. That's only one small fraction of the puzzle.

No need for you to ever worry. "Solid science" has determined the chicken nuggets they serve as school lunches will provide all the nutrition they need to grow up into Einsteins.

Diet alone is not the answer to a student's learning needs. However, those nuggets are horrendous indeed.

You say you are not concerned about personal choices, but it is different if they tape and sell it. Yet, professional sports is taped and sold, so it appears that your issue is really concern about personal choices.

I don't care to watch either one. I agree with VM on this.

And I also agree with VM that teachers should not be blamed for the failure of the kids parents. Kids are often the reflection of the homes they live in. I'd reference my own life, but I don't think starting school in the 50's relates. I was very fortunate.

Teachers in Buffalo fought to have students with poor attendance NOT be counted in their evaluation. They lost.

I said:

The cause came out of your own head. BTW, did you know that poor diet contributes hugely to poor reading skills?

It would be simple to adjust, but certainly not easy; if it were, it would have been done by now. My guess is that 75% of Americans eat an unhealthful diet (just consider how many thin people over 45 you see around, if you don't believe me), so it's not a small job.

Considering that nutrition is required for optimal physiological performance, the lack of which would logically reduce one's cognitive functions.

(Can you tell I ate a good meal today?)

LOL...I can tell that you usually eat well.

I think there are any number of dietary steps which will improve both physical and mental function, which stands to reason; the brain is a physical organ. Generally, though, one implements them sequentially, and although each one might give a little improvement, and together, once implemented over time, quite a lot, it is a littlehard to tell.

But if you want one thing which may well give some noticeable benefit, and in a fairly short time, try giving up wheat.

The shoulder that had hurt, off and on, for 20 years, doesn't. My sinuses/allergies are better. Minor gut problems, which I thought were either normal, or due to coffee, are gone.

And mentally, my memory is better, and I feel a little quicker; the latter has been described by some as "wheat brain fog" going away. It's subtle, but you do notice it when it diminishes.

Wheat, barley and rye have high carbs, and carbs aren't good in the amounts the average American orca eats them (being largely responsible for the diabetes epidemic, FI), and they have glutins and lectins, which are usually bad for anybody.

The brain also runs primarily on fats. I read somewhere that our brain burns more fat while we sleep than any other organ does during the day. Now, I might have read that in Cosmo in the 90's, so take it with a grain of salt.

OK, let's not discuss salt. As for the fats - that's what M & M's are for.

I love how this prostitution thread flipped into a health food thread. LOL

And cholesterol, too.

The lipid hypothesis is just that, and it rests on shaky assumptions, at that.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/02/090223221430.htm

Cholesterol is a good thing, not a bad one:

http://www.natural-health-information-centre.com/cholesterol.html

Dr. Stephanie Seneff has some interesting ideas about cholesterol. Her thinking is why I switched from vitamin D supplements to the sun and a sunlamp, which produce vitamin d SULFATE and cholesterol SULFATE in the skin. Vitamin D sulfate can't be found in the diet, which suggests that we're made to get our vitamin d from the sun. Unlike regular D, it is water soluble, so it can travel throughout the body without a carrier molecule, and it may have unique functions.

She's very interesting. Her bio, below, doesn't say so, but she became more interested in nutrition after her husband got sick. She brings a very good brain and a fresh set of eyes to the study of nutrition, into which there has been put too much incorrect dogma over the decades.

Prostitutes can lower blood pressure by alleviating stress.

Back on. When drillers go to hookers, they usually sit around and discuss health food. Some guys just like to talk, I guess

They can also provide much needed exercise.

I don't know anything about that. I do know that if a man gets hungry enough, he's always dead.
