Yes, I was also surprised by this statement and I only comment because there is a scientific study behind and is published by the prestigious British magazine The lancet. If not, I would just laugh, period.
His conclusions are that: "Babies fed very nutritious products are more likely to have a good monetary income when they are adults."
And to arrive at this statement, researchers rely on the study of a group of Guatemalan men from birth to the age of 30.
During the decade of 70'sSome of the babies who took part in the study received a very nutritious nutritional supplement (they never mention which one) while others received a less nutritious one. When the researchers returned 30 years later to see these babies now turned into men, they discovered that those who ingested the most nutritious supplement until the age of 3 years they earned almost 50% more per hour than the others mens.
This research did not take into account any other variable that explains the economic differences such as schooling, intellectual quotient, health, family environment, social assistance, etc. Only the feeding was analyzed and therefore The Lancet argues that these results constitute the first direct evidence of the link between nutrition in the first years of life and the salaries of an adult, and that feeding babies well can boost economic growth.
Well, the truth is that the equation does make sense: better food, better global and brain health, more energy in life and more income. But this explanation is too simplistic and needs other deeper and more complete studies.
That we live in a society that needs the economic incentive to feed their babies better, is very sad.
For my part, I take this information with all the reservations in the world and I will feed my son the best possible for his health, happiness and better personal development. And if you earn a lot of money, Hacienda and I will be very happy.
By the way, Paris Hilton is a millionaire because she has been fed well or because she has it rained Heaven's money?
