Can you take the “animal” out of criminal behaviors with foods?

I mean, could it possible that the foods we eat can have an effects on our behavior? Like the old saying”You are what you eat”. For thousands of years, buddhist monks eating vegetarian foods also think that will help them reach tranquility and calmness in their soul too w/the helps of meditations and faith. Also, if certain foods can change moods and moods can affect behaviors. Like eat chocolates putting lovers in the moods. And some women eating ice creams or “comfort foods” to calm down after a breakup or sad events. What I want to know is, can we change criminal behaviors of prisoners by feeding them fatty foods(like icecream) or vegetarian foods so they don’t get to be to be too big or muscular when they get out of prison.(Feeding them with protein foods like potatoes and give them access to workout gyms surely don’t make them change their criminal behaviors, it just make them bigger, scarier and more muscular to commit more criminal acts)

Buddhist monks eating 1 meal a day before noon – health benefits?

I think the main reason is not to bother the laypeople for an evening meal and it helps meditation, reduce obesity (and reduce the suffering of animals and insects involved in producing food) but I think there might be other health reasons?
and eating a lot makes you sleepy.

If Islam intends to convert everybody to their religion (by hook or by sword) should Buddhists be alarmed?

Should’nt Buddhist monks in their Shaolin temples and Buddhist-converts be honing their kung-fu for a showdown with Islamists? If Islam has the suicide bombers, Buddhism has kung-fu… i think that’s a good match-up, dont you agree?
hehehe… you people are soooo up-tight! relax and take it easy, on a lazy Sunday afternoon watch a movie or something.
