Abstract

BACKGROUND:

  Children in the USA are experiencing obesity and overweight at epidemic rates. Schools have started to make policy decisions based on a popularly presumed connection between nutrition and academic achievement. This study aimed to determine whether such a relationship exists, and if so, its nature.
METHODS:

  Data from the Food Consumption Questionnaire administered to approximately 12 000 fifth graders as part of the nationally representative Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort was analysed using regression analysis. The analysis used propensity score matching to examine the relationship between students' reported fast-food consumption and their test scores in reading and mathematics. Propensity score matching attempts to control for a host of background characteristics that might be correlated with both fast-food consumption and test scores.

I don't find the correlation surprising at all. Now, whether there is any causation here is another question. I would not be so convinced of that.

If you say "too much" you already imply that its unhealthy. Anything is unhealthy if you eat too much of it. Because, well, its just too much.

Although I witnessed this stupidity now for several years it still baffles me to read firecats posts. I just cant comprehend this level of ignorance. It seems impossible to me and yet I can see it clearly with my own eyes. On one hand I am thinking this MUST be trolling but then again, a normal troll wouldnt do this for years...
