diet and bad behaviour
Diet and bad behaviour are now coming under the sort of scrutiny that Jamie Oliver gave to school meals. It appears that criminality is at least correctable in some measure by decent diet!!
A study in America has shown that violent behaviour can be corrected by improving the diet and according to Radio 4 The Food Programme 9.1.06 at 4pm research has shown that a high percentage of criminals surveyed in prison are shown to have spent most of their lives suffering from trauma, bad diet and poor socialisation. Most if not all came into prison from a lifetime of foster care or other form of institutionalisation where they have been distressed almost from birth.
Let us hope that this research is taken up by British authorities and extended and wrapped around the whole world. Healing is for everybody!!
20.8.07 - See also Peter Chappell on Trauma “Personally I think emotional literacy, alongside spiritual literacy, is the most important form of intelligence and that it’s opposite, the consequence of emotional illiteracy, man made trauma in all its forms, which at worst manifests in genocide and war, are the greatest source of ignorance and suffering. I think emotional intelligence is second in intelligence to spiritual intelligence and both are critically important today.â€
