The Lead Link

I'm still flapping around in the first-day-home-after-vacation chaos, but I had to link to this Mother Jones article on the connection between lead exposure and crime (and other things).

I started including this info in workshops on childhood behavior and nutrition back in 2008.  I had some folks shaking their heads over the notion that crime could be driven by something other than moral/social issues, and others roll their eyes at the idea that nutrition could have a greater impact on behavior than "free will."  Alas.

Read the article, pass it on.  It's important stuff.
