Does Eating a Good School Lunch Make You Smarter?
Arthur Agatston, of South Beach diet fame, thinks good school nutrition programs raise math scores. Does eating right make schoolchildren perform better? A team led by Arthur Agatston, a cardiologist and creator of the popular South Beach diet, presented findings at an Obesity Society meeting over the weekend showing that improving the nutritional quality of school meals bolstered the academic performance of students over a two-year period, in addition to lowering their weight and blood pressure. The researchers saw significant increases in math scores among the 1,197 elementary students who participated in the Healthier Options for Public Schoolchildren obesity prevention program, an intervention currently used in 79 schools in seven states.

Seriously, Does Eating a Good School Lunch Make You Smarter? I’m not convinced. I know that countless studies say yes, but my own study tells me that I wake up craving bread, and bread has stuff in it that makes me crave more bread. To some people, bread is crack. So I am definitely better off not eating lunch. And I look at other people, in diners, maybe, eating French toast. And I know they have the same problem. So maybe everyone would think better if we skipped lunch.
