Did someone mention some connection between food and crime? For instance, I thought I heard someone mention that cooked foods reported to have been eaten before some major crime sprees. The connection seems fairly weak, as so many people eat cooked food. More specifically are animal foods credited with causing more disturbed states of mind?

Also do you believe that particular nutrients which are low, or in excess are related to crime? What if anything is thought to bring more peaceful, relaxed, but also more productive states of mind? I know that lithium is connected to controling certain mental disturbances and disorders. But if someone is not diagnosed with those, would it be helpful for the average person?

Several years ago a sci-fi program featured the death of a modern saint. (theoretical) The body smelled like flowers. I faguely recall some connection to lifelong dietary habits, namely fruitarianism. It seems a bit far, but does the aging corpse of a life long fruitarian smell differently? or lack smell? or not smell as much? Or decompose differently?

I don't have the citations handy, but there is certainly a growing body of studies correlating violent behaviour and sugar/junk food, and in the movie 'Supersize Me', a school was cited as having transformed the behaviour of at-risk youth (it was an alternative school that took kids whose behaviour was too poor for regular school) by removing pop and junk food from the school entirely and switching to an ultra-low sugar, low fat, high veg/fruit, high fibre cafeteria diet.

in experiments,rats are fed people food and they eat each other and fight and then they are given raw organic healthy food and they have little communities ad procreate

well i guess CC 's example says a lot

"people food" LOL

also known as "real food" lol.
