Schools in Wisconsin are showing kids the dangers of junk food with some unique science class experiments. Luigi Frigo repeats the experiment every year in her second grade class.

The students feed one group of mice unprocessed whole foods. A second group of mice are given the same junk foods served at most schools. Within a couple of days, the behavior of the second group of mice changes. They develop erratic sleeping schedules and become lazy, nervous and even violent. It takes the mice about three weeks on unprocessed foods to return to normal.

According to Frigo, the second graders tried to do the experiment again a few months later with the same mice, but the animals learned their lesson and refused to eat the junk food. (9) Read the article at: http://www.organicconsumers.org/articles/article_14507.cfm
