You might want to reconsider the tuck shop? A recent study links adult violence with childhood consumption of sweets and chocolate!!! You can read it here, something to chew on me thinks :-)

had heard a wispa of this report

Roy,

*laughing* nice one!

Having read it, I think some of the assumptions are a bit Flake(y) and hence the headline conclusion is a bit of a Fudge. The danger being that the Daily Mail will take this as reported and rather Revel in it :-)

Oddly enough the Daily Mail reporting at http://bit.ly/VjBov is a bit more balanced, and highlights the point that gets made later on in the article Ian linked to that implied the sweets were just a symptom of a wider problem that the parents who allowed their children sweets every day were in general giving in to pester power. The Daily Mail also found a chap from the Food and Drink federation who called the report utter nonsense.
