Breitbart posted a UPI story about a Cornell University research study that sounds like a parody, but isn’t. Researchers had some kids, age 6-10, eat pieces of chicken with their hands off the bone, and had others eat pieces of cut-up boneless chicken with a fork. They determined that eating the cut-up chicken made kids more docile and eating food they had to hold and bite made them more aggressive.
How did they determine the relative aggressiveness? A commenter on the story explained:
… Look at the study’s actual “aggression measure” : Compliance with instructions to say seated after eating or remain within 9′ f table after eating
That is NOT a measure of aggression or disobedience — that is a measure of being a kid or a compliant slave to meaningless instructions!
Study actually concludes that eating boneless chicken makes your kid less of a kid, less independent, less fun, and a mindless idiot who obeys pointless instructions from authority no matter how silly.
No doubt this absurd bit of “scientific research” was paid for by your tax dollars.
Personally, I think it’s raaacist.
