Mind control over our juveniles as the UK government considers giving food supplements to pupils in England in an effort to improve behaviour and performance. It is true; it is on the BBC so it must be.
OK, so at the moment it is not quite as Big Brother as it would seem. No heavy sedatives to numb the rowdy into submission for example, but there is a report due from the Food Standards Agency about the effects of diet on behavior. This will include such things as Omega-3 and -6 oils that could boost learning ability. Several schools are already experimenting with trials that look into the effects of diet, exercise, control of sugar intake and the like. Studies on the Omega-3 and -6 supplements have received mixed results.
