In the documentary "Super Size Me", they profiled a school that was only for juvenile delinquent types of children. They fed them homemade foods from a company in Wisconsin (instead of a bunch of processed, pre-packaged, frozen, low nutrient "food"), and those kids were better behaved than the "normal" kids in the public school that they profiled. Look at how much better you feel as an adult when you eat whole, healthy foods. Children are in a heightened state of growth, a different stage of their development when they need nutrient dense food the most. I'm sure those kids in Connecticut are benefiting, although I do not know what kind of food they are served (this case only dealt with beverages, but it's certainly a start). It would be great to hear from some parents who have the first hand experience in that state, wouldn't it? :) All the best, JoLynn Hi Patrick,

I wonder what impact it is having on the behaviour and learning practices of the children? I can't see it being negative. You have to applaud decisions like these.
