"There is considerable evidence from observational studies in developing countries linking undernutrition in early life with poorer cognitive and neuropsychological development (Grantham-McGregor & Baker-Henningham, 2005). Interpreting such associations is problematic as undernourished children are more likely to come from disadvantaged backgrounds, to have parents with lower levels of education, a less stimulating home environment and to have been born with a low birthweight. Such factors are likely to confound any link between diet in early life and development. However, data from trials in developing countries suggest that improving children’s nutritional status, perhaps particularly in the first two years of life, can benefit cognitive and neuropsychological function, at least in the short term (Neumann, Murphy, Gewa, Grillenberger, & Bwibo, 2007; Grantham-McGregor & Baker-Henningham, 2005)."

  There are many factors that can be involved with a childs' undernourishment. "...undernourished children are more likely to come from disadvantaged backgrounds, to have parents with lower levels of education, a less stimulating home environment and to have been born with a low birthweight." All of these things affect a childs' nutrition which in turn will affect their development as they grow up. Their growing brains depend on good nutrition but because of many of these reasons many kids in third world countries are undernourished thus leading to their stunted development.
• There is evidence that links nutrition to childrens' development. There are many factors that are linked to their development but the most important one is nutrition, especially in the first two years.

Field Research Ideas:

1. Interview pediatrician on importance of nutrition for young children
2. Interview nutritionist on nutritions affects on certain parts of the brain
3. Visit Nutrition lab and interview employees

• United States government past and Present
• Affect of good nutrition on grades
• Physical education in public schools
• Academic honesty
• Emotional attachments with school

For my topic I have deceided to go with the affects of good nutrition on your grades. I have always wondered about this and whether or not it actually has an affect on your grades or not. I chose it because it seemed very interesting to me and something I could get a lot of good answers on. I also chose it because I want to try it out with myself, considering I've never had great nutrition and also never had very good grades as well. I hope that it will be a great learning experience for me and that I can get a lot out of it.

I've already heard many discussions on this topic and have never really had a solid opinion of my own. I think that for some people nutrition has a great affect on their grades but for others almost no affect. An issue that is very related to this topic is what a good diet actually is. For years and years now people have argued about what diet is best for you, high fat, high carbs, low fat and many more. To solve the situation at hand we would first have to realize what a "good" diet consists of.

There are many things concerning this topic that I ahve no idea about. I have barely any prior knowledge about nutrition or it's affects on anything. But that is one thing that I hope to learn through all of the research and writing in this paper. I also just hope to learn more about the body and just what drives it and keeps you going and thinking and things like that.
