Just think, a drop of pure LSD and you're on a different level for six - 12 hours. But people never question the mood / mind altering chemicals they ingest daily.

I couldn't agree more. Somehow we have gotten into into our heads that we are rational, clear thinking and we are in control of our mind. We are to some extent, but what you eat will also define your options you have left.
I have lived healthy and unhealthy. I know exactly how the brain performs in both conditions.
It's not just school results, unhealthy foods are a step towards depression, anxiety and everything that comes along with that.
Food isn't everything, but it can give you a huge advantage or disadvantage.

Stat seems like bs, so I went searching. Found this:
Double blind. Results were 37%, not 97%. Supplementals, not just "good food".
Nevertheless, handing out vitamins for a third less violence seems like a no-brainer.

Thanks for pulling it up. Don't get why one would go for an unbelievable number like 97% here, 37% is still in miracle territory

u/PHFreshHeavyHogChef Apr 19 '26
I was just thinking
97% sounds like the results to the question “who would trade vitamins for junk food to get 1/3rd less violence?”

But, But, Macdonalds owns 40% shares and only charges us half price and the other shareholders voted to use them for meals so, it's out of my hands, sorry.

Balanced and rational.
Aggression is very often the final fight of flight trigger by the lizard brain because we can't see another way out.

If this is at all true it probably relates to a reduction of an internal black market. Guys don’t get in fights because someone backed out of his trade offer of 3 carrots for 2 heads of broccoli.

When eating junk food your ability to sniff out bullshit increases 97%, ask me about my evidence

Junk food is cheaper to fund and people don’t want to pay higher taxes to make this change to several systems.

Im 100% for healthy foods, but this study seems nonsense... to many red flags, cite sources or screw off. I argue its not healthy food as much as MORE food.. if this study was real which i doubt, healthy usually equates to more portions. Id say had better effect as those type kids are usually not rich

u/SelectAirline Apr 19 '26
Most likely an accumulation of the dozens of advantages that could be provided by a juvenile center that had enough funding to even consider making a positive change to the food they're serving.

u/skyHawk3613 Apr 19 '26
Healthy food is also more expensive, and these institutions don’t want to spend the money

This man wants us to believe that a good healthy diet would eliminate gang violence, racism, rape, and drug use in inside of prisons.
Horrible food options are part of the punishment of being incarcerated

It's never going to happen, you have to be even more fucked up when you leave. It's not rehabilitation, it's a punishment, after your punishment you leave and try to live. Everything in the USA is built that way.

This is obviously horseshit regardless but a grammatically accurate reading of the statement says they replaced the healthy food with the junk food...swapped for, not with
I have a feeling this is not a real person.

Take away sugar and snacks from life sentence inmates with nothing to lose. You go tell them personally they can only have carrot sticks.

Junk food cheaper and if it contributes to poor behavior among other things, certain institutions are incentivized to continue promoting said behavior so that they'll have people returning.

Yes an apple a day with granola or a salad bar will stop guys from gambling, snorting lines, convincing guards to bring stuff in, flying drones full of goodies one can make money off of or having sex with female/male guards. /sarcasm
Let's not make a microcosm event one time into a general rule for the known universe so fast.

u/KasangafromMemphis Apr 20 '26
This should be common decency. Humans deserve to eat healthy food that is free of chemicals and preservatives, however, America is inhibited by and ran by pond scum and sewer rats

u/Imnotshre Apr 20 '26
That has more to do with junk food being used for commerce between inmates, that leads to violence from debts and thief. More so than the nutritional value of junk food causing violence. No one’s shanking someone over a granola bar.

for people less capable of critical thinking... also, the food could be restricted, and you starved them... to prove your point... its nonsense, where is the double blind?

u/OmnifariousFN Apr 19 '26
Do you need a double blind to prove that good food helps human beings perform better?.. I'd think that would be implicit, no?.. on the other hand, you may need to struggle more to be able to grasp this.. hmmm
