My experience in California was light years from my experience in France. The bulk of school lunches provided by the parents were low-grade junk food. Sugar, snacks, and empty calories. The kids with vegetables and a balanced diet were in the minority. I saw an article while I was in California about a high school of last resort for juvenile delinquents. The reporter visiting it was shocked that the school was quiet, and the kids were well behaved. The reason (according to the principal) was largely diet. The school had a cafeteria with organic food (some subsidization). About 1-2 months after a new kid entered the school, the behavor problems went away. I can't find the link now, but I did find some related ones: "Dietary management of juvenile delinquency", http://www.feingold.org/Research/PDFstudies/Feingold-delinq79.pdf http://www.feingold.org/Research/PDFstudies/Feingold-delinq7...
