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?
