Actually, my mom (who has a masters in biology) and I were talking about this yesterday. I was griping about so many people not learning English and she replied that generations of poor prenatal diets can certainly result learning disabilities and I should have more patience towards the situation. It is possible that a great many problems in learning and lacking attention spans of our generation are a direct result of prenatal diets.

Yeap i remember that show..... It also talked about the ''Thrifty Gene'' and how that gene is going to cause a health crises over in china as people in the rural western parts went generations of eating low calories as they were dirt poor and now moving to the huge cities in eastern china and now eating ''fast food'' as their genomes aren't primed for that.
