ITHACA, N.Y.,Researchers at Cornell University conducted a study about biting versus chewing habits in children and found that kids who eat chicken on the bone are more likely to disobey adults and be aggressive.
The study, which was published in Eating Behaviors, found that children were “twice as likely to disobey adults and twice as aggressive toward other kids” when eating food they had to hold and bite.
Researches found that children were more docile when eating cut-up pieces of food, results which would seem to indicate that there is a connection between having to use teeth to eat and aggressive behavior.
Not everyone agrees with the study’s findings.
“I think people have been eating chicken wings, chicken drumsticks for a millennia and I don’t think it’s made them any more aggressive than they otherwise would have been,” clinical psychologist Dr. Brian Russell told Fox News.
The children that the researchers studied were between the ages of 6 and 10.
In other words the kids are not in danger of metrosexuality.
Had a sling shot, carried a pen knife, a pair of six shooters, a bag of marbles and did the Indian blood brother thing with our snake bite kit.
I had mouth watering special fried chicken strips with garlic dip today. You make your order and they give you your drinks and a square disk that looks like a coaster. I had my soda on it, then suddenly it stated beeping and flashing lights - I almost was going to toss it out the door thinking it was going to blow up.
I took a closer look at it and finally figured out it was signalling that my order was ready.
What a crock of good money poured into a hole-growing up in the country, we had chickens, cattle, guineas-even a few hogs-all free range, and we ate them freshly slaughtered-we didn’t run out and commit mayhem, either.
I barter or buy fresh chicken and other fresh meat like everyone else here-this isn’t exactly a high-class place, and the sheriff never gets called here for any violence-we are strange...
What about kids who would bite the heads off their animal crackers before eating the rest of the critter cookie?
“Eating the neck meat (which amounts to about a tablespoon of chicken)...now that was an act of aggression.”
Doesn’t that depend on whether the chicken was dead or alive before the neck was eaten?
Now that is fresh chicken...
My brother and I killed a chicken via wringing...just like grandma...but it took three times. Sturdy little buggers unless you use an axe like grandpa.
Wow....I always did that...gee, I fell bad now..../not
Chickens are people too!
Sounds like PETA is looking for a back door to save the chickens...
Hush, dammit-don’t give them any ideas for using food studies to spend money and make up stupid theories...
Yeah. You look at those two photos, and I guess it depends on whether he’s preparing to deal with ordinary Americans, or with enemy terrorists.
Yeah...How much government grant money did they get for this B*LL SH*T??????????????
“Who paid for this? As if it even needs to be asked.”
Could this “bad to the bone”research have been undertaken pro bono?
I’ve done the deed with an axe-never tried the wringing, but we had an aunt who was a master at that, quick and bloodless...
Several years ago, the government gave a university 2.1 million dollars to study the mating habits of the African Tree Frog....*sheeeeeesh*
As much as PETA could spend to buy this study, I’m sure...
Dollar to a donut, taxpayers paid for this garbage!
