Our brains need nutrients and when they don't get it, we get cranky. Oh yea you don't have to tell a mom about that. You can overhear a mom saying Oh someones hungry! to a cranky little one. (that or is it nap time??) That's what wrong with the society today, we need to eat healthier.
But there is research from the University of Toronto study shows that people became impatient simply considering fast food. I really have a problem with the label fast food for yes it is fast food but not all of it is bad for you, you can get some healthy choices at fast food places. Plus you can make some food fast in the microwave and if it is fresh; it's not bad for you either. I used to work at a fast food place and yes people can get very impatient...... that and lose all sense of time. If they have wait in line for 3 minutes it turns into 20 minutes when they scream at you for 5 because they had to stand in line... Can I take your order now please??............
Also they found if they shown a logo or a menu from a fancy restaurant, people used better manners. Wow just the logo or menu. When they saw the logo of fast food places they became impatient
Maybe that is the answer to our school crisis. With Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution; Mrs. Q blog Fed up with Lunch, and Farm to School Network all working on making it the norm to have fresh foods at our schools. Need more proof... I found this site. A School in Wisconsin changed it food program and found it's violence, drug problems, drop outs and expulsions changed to 0... Zero... and this is the school for behavior problems, they even had a cop there. They had a problem with hand guns inside the school and all this from fresh healthy food. That is Central Alternative High School
We also know that many food colorings and syntactic sugar are being blamed for behavioral problems like ADD and hyperactivity.
Why is this even being questioned. That our student need healthier food... that there is a connection to food and learning........... So why is the government talking about cutting the food stamp program and dragging their feet on the Child Nutrition Women, Infants, and Children Reauthorization Act (CNRA).
Many eastern countries use fresh food in the lunch program and even teach our children about the food they are having for lunch. I has so shocked when I watched Food Revolution and saw that most of the kids didn't know what vegetable was what.. Time to go back in time and start cooking food for the students and giving them the best advantage to secede.
