That is not true. Hunger causes the heavy energy using prefrontal cortex to become more dormant, thus limiting rational thought and self control. That is why you are cranky when you are hungry -- you literally have less control over your emotions.

It's not like that at all, it's just people dont realise that it's really not good giving them what they want.
I think it would be interesting to see the difference of the behavior, and grades, when they are fed junk. vs fresh fruit. maybe some low GI foods like Oats.(not flap jacks!!) and just water to drink.
It would make a change. In a good way.

Parents suck and are killing their children and costing everyone money (not to mention the eye-sore that is fat people)

So, do you let a man die with free will, stripped of health and dignity, 300 pounds, diabetic, sedentary, and with poor quality of life, or do you enact sensible regulation of the food industry to protect that man from their desire to profit from their knowledge of biology and chemistry by manufacturing pseudo-foods which will bathe him in dopamine as he slowly kills himself?
Can we not agree that we should not be trying to prohibit alcohol, but we should force companies who sell it to provide safe, honest products? Could we not do the same for food?
