Summarize Argument: Phenomenon-Hypothesis

The author hypothesizes that poor nutrition causes violent behavior in young offenders. This is based on two studies: one showed that violent inmates tend to choose low-nutrient foods, and the second showed that when given a high-nutrient diet, violent inmates’ behavior improved. This informs the author’s sub-conclusion that the studies show a connection between violence and poor nutrition.

Notable Assumptions

The author assumes causation from correlation. Specifically, the author assumes that poor nutrition causes violent behavior, as opposed to some other factor the researchers did not account for.
