There have been studies like this before. and it vindicates Jamie Oliver's attempts to sort out school dinners and make them more nutritionally sound.

I personally can attest to the fact that after a lunch consisting of crisps,sweets and fizzy pop, a fair few teenagers become absolutely nuts and unable to settle for some time during a school day.A whole lesson can be wiped by their out of control antics.
