Anything is possible!
July 28th, 2010 by Nate

Internet, check it out. Outlandish claims? Is there really a connection between school food and the overall climate of the school? I’m leaning toward believing this one. Maybe the results wouldn’t be so dramatic, but what we eat affects how we feel, and through that how we interact with each other in general. It really isn’t so weird to think that by eating better, a whole school worth of people could start acting more calm, even-tempered, and even more friendly towards each other. I always worry that food activists make organic food sound like a magical cure-all for health problems and social ills, but really, food is fundamental enough to effect every part of our lives.

    Great post! I agree with you that organic food is not a magic cure-all (like a diet pill or something), and I probably would have thought good food and behavior was more a correlation rather than causation (well, maybe it is), but after reading this post, I think you are right. How we feel physically and emotionally is definitely related to what we eat. Did you see this post on GOOD? It’s about healthier school lunches curbing bad behavior… http://bit.ly/9bgt0Q

    That GOOD article is totally talking about the same study! Food definitely isn’t magic, but we eat the stuff every day (hopefully). I think we want more complex, exciting answers, but every time I learn how helpful eating well is, my reaction is always “of course! Food! Why didn’t I think of that?” Is there anything food can’t do?

    Nate, completely agree that we want COMPLEX ANSWERS! Just how we are always looking for the new drug or magic food that will make losing weight so easy. Sorry, didn’t realize it was talking about the same study. I guess we can conclude, after so many studies, that food is…powerful. Keep up the good fight!

    Sorry if this question has already been answered- but why won’t you make the DVD available for purchase? as a school nurse/health teacher I can show it to students, but am not able to organize a showing. Thanks!
