For the benefit for all those who've asked and all those who've warned :-) The Paul Harvey program I heard was a recent news report about a small school in England. I am thinking 500 kids. The principal removed all the candy and soda machines and refused to allow junk food on campus. "No sugary, salty, fatty or fizzy stuff", I believe was the quote. Within the next 26 months, the entire school's reading scores rose over 300%. I think there may be a lot more to this than just the change in eating THOUGH I do understand how important good nutrition is. Having lost about 45 pounds this year and changed my eatring habits radically, I can see a marked difference in my own mental contortions. I'll gladly post a hit if anyone else heard the name of the school or knows where to get a copy of the report so I can verify the facts. As was pointed out in a couple of replies, PH has a tendency to slant stories his way -but then what media person doesn't these days! :-( Best T. K.
