Cornell study finds children who eat chicken on the bone are more aggressive

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.

I went into the woods because I wanted to live life deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck all the marrow of life... to put to rout all that was not life; and not when I came to die, discover I had not lived. - Henry David Thoreau

I wonder if they bothered controlling for gender—if they didn’t, that would make the methodology a bit more interesting and the results absolutely uninteresting. If they did, the results would be interesting when looking at it along gender lines. I suspect that a good 90% of all boys prefer it on the bone.
