This was the part I found to b the most troubling.
Initially we thought this [effect] was probably due to something else. So we tried to control for parental permissiveness, economic status, whether the kids were urban or rural. But the result remained. We couldn't get rid of it.
Don't worry, tomorrow there will be another study blaming broccoli.

But the result remained. We couldn't get rid of it.I read bios of a lot of violent criminals at one point, trying to figure out why they were like they were. Almost all the ones I read about -- Gary Gilmore, Bugsy Siegel, "Momo" Giancana, and plenty of others -- were beaten severely as kids. And I don't mean just spanked -- I mean beaten to the point of torture, as in their clothes sticking to their bodies from the dried blood, or being hurled head-first against walls so hard that they lost consciousness, and not just once, but over years of time.
I dunno, but it doesn't seem too mysterious to me. Violence in, violence out seems like kind of intuitive. "As ye sow, so shall ye reap" and all that. The problem is that the small, helpless creature that's being pounded on eventually grows up to be a big, aggressive, strong creature, and takes it all out on whoever they can.
Just my two cents....
Agreed. I think that is a much more reliable predictor of violent behavior than diet.

It's true. I was watching a show on MSNBC about pedophiles and why they do what they do. Almost everyone one of them talked about how they had been abused by a pedophile when they were children. Many of them said thet the experience and it's aftermath left them believing that this was the normal way to behave, or else they didn't know any other way to express themselves intimately. I have een this first hand, as my wife's uncle is in prion right now for molesting his step daughter. e was also molested as a small child. And so the cycle continues.
So, a new study says 60% of people who commited a violent crime by age 35 had eaten candy as a child. Isn't that like saying that 60% of people who were killed in traffic accidents last year ate carrots as a child?
Wow, I'm way too late for that mass murdering spree I should have gone on.

Maybe that will help.
Hey everyone! I hope things are going well.
Time for a little bit of a blitz.
