Hangry? Eat breakfast

People who don't break their fast first thing in the morning report the least life satisfaction.

- MARC WILSON

We're three-quarters of the way through the academic year and that means... Open Day! Time for me to roll out some of my greatest hits for prospective students (and their parents). That means talking about why commerce students report more psychopathic traits, what executed American criminals' last meals can tell us about their psychology, and the aggression-related effects of skipping a meal.

Yes, in this last, I can show you that people who skip breakfast are more likely to put virtual pins into a virtual voodoo doll representing someone in their lives. It's evolutionary, see. If you don't have any food in the pantry you're gonna have to go beat something to death, skin it, and eat it. I wanted to make a joke here about RFK Jr's recent admission he put a dead bear cub in his van with exactly that plan in mind, but ended up dumping it in Central Park, made to look like a cycling accident.
