Eating Candy in Childhood Linked to Adult Crime
What parent hasn’t used candy to pacify a cranky child or head off a brewing tantrum? When reasoning, threats and time-outs fail, a sugary treat often does the trick. But while that chocolate-covered balm may be highly effective in the short term, say British scientists, it may be setting youngsters up for problem behavior later. According to a new study, kids who eat too many treats at a young age risk becoming violent in adulthood.
The research was led by Simon Moore, a senior lecturer in Violence and Society Research at Cardiff University in the U.K., who specializes in the study of vulnerable youngsters. Moore had been investigating the factors that lead children to commit serious crimes, when, during the course of his work, he discovered that “kids with the worst problems tend to be impulsive risk takers, and that these kids had terrible diets – breakfast was a Coke and a bag of chips,” he says.

This is the most absurd, ludicrous, asinine, (insert additional adjectives here) study, yet it is getting global attention.
I’m not a scientist, but doesn’t it make more sense children who become adults known as ‘impulsive risk takers’ are more likely to be this way because their parents sucked?
these kids had terrible diets – breakfast was a Coke and a bag of chips
What parent who gives a rats hairy ass about their child feeds them a Coke and a bag of chips for breakfast? This is the problem.
I’m going to release a study next week which undeniably proves boys who laugh at fat girls riding a little bike grow up to be men who laugh at fat girls riding a little bike.
