Interesting story at http://www.alternet.org/healthwellness/60874/ If better diet reduces propensity to violence, what is the effect of poor diet? Just think of the possible hypotheses: Does poor diet in third-world countries contribute (along with, for example, a large proportion of young males in the population) to endemic violence? What about Red State America? Especially in places where deep-fried Twinkies are more likely to be consumed that Omega-3-rich fish oil? Are fast-food-nation diets linked to the popularity of violent video games? Thoughts, anyone?
