The following is translated, in its entirety, from ETC, a Swedish
magazine.  (Issue 4, 1984):

			Food Cures

There is an American criminologist named Stephan Schoentaler.
What he discovered could destroy the American junk-food industry.

If junk-food is removed from the youth-prisons in the USA, conditions
improve.

At a youth-home in Virginia, fights [arguments?] decreased 56%
and youths in good condition improved 76% (don't ask us how he
computed that).  The statistics show the same tendency even
two years after this reform.  The recipe is simple:  Coca-Cola
is replaced by orange juice, canned fruit is removed from the
menu, candy avoided.  The researcher is so satisfied with his
results that he spread them to all American prisons.  But they
answered that the least change in the menu would lead to upproar.
