Loading ...In the 1950s, apparently all kids in England got daily cod liver oil capsules at school.
Not sure when this stopped, but a recent article notes England is now considering giving every child a capsule of omega-3 oil before class.
Based on the overwhelming amount of research that's been published over the last 5 years showing how beneficial omega-3 fats from fish oil are for your brain, I'd say this isn't a bad idea. For reference you may want to read an earlier post I made about how fish oil improves learning and memory in children, as well as how omega 3 fish oil can improve focus and concentration.

Actually capsules were not given to ALL children in the 1950s it was more discriminatory than that. I don not know if it was based upon intelligence or parental income but I know I did not ever get them and I went on to Grammar School. We all had milk, regardless of background until Margaret Thatcher did away with it. But capsules no. I always felt left out personally and would be interested even now to know the criteria for receiving same.
