      Your diet can affect your behaviour. I know that some of the detention centers I have been to in the US and the alternative schools in the UK really focus on diet and limit sodas and candy/chocolate.

      I’m not a dietician, but you can see the effect that sugar and caffeine has on children, whose brains are still developing. It’s generally not good for young children to have so much sugar, as is typically found in sodas.

      Super Size Me was a great movie that sparked debates about what we eat and what we feed children in schools. Also, Jamie Oliver has done some fantastic work to improve diets in schools.
