See the work of another pioneer in this area, Paul Stitt. His school lunch program in Appleton, Wisc. was featured in SuperSize Me, to contrast with the typical ones. They even claim that "students’ disruptive behavior and health complaints diminished substantially... more able to concentrate.... considerable decrease in impulsive behaviors, such as talking out, fidgeting and the use of foul language. mid-afternoon. ACA staff mutually feels they are able cover a greater amount of material at a more challenging level... negative behaviors such as vandalism, drug and weapons violations, dropout and expulsion rates, and suicide attempts are virtually nonexistent."

Paul Stitt's work is well-described a PDF file on this site:

His own site is: http://www.naturalovens.com and there is a 'Schools' tab.

I'm glad to see another pioneer in the US. I'm in Texas and am looking to get this started in the our school - They are wanting it, but I need help getting started. Anything you can send my way will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Sandi
