2023-11-26 I asked ChatGPT,"Are there any data, papers, or columns that verify the theory that 'children who fail to eat their school lunch without leaving any leftovers have an earlier or sicker life'?" [長年日記]

I asked ChatGPT,

"Are there any data, papers, or columns that verify the theory that 'children who fail to eat their school lunch without leaving any leftovers have an earlier or sicker life'?"

The answer (summary) that ChatGPT has come up with is,

Some papers show that leaving school lunches unattended has a generally positive impact on children's health. However, do not mention a direct link between school lunches and early life or infirmity."

-----

"Then, why was the torture (in the name of education) of "making students eat school lunches until they were given detention" occurring?"

I surmise this was probably because the teachers on site were given a 'quota' of 'complete meals for the students in their class.'

And if they don't achieve their "quota," they are reprimanded by the "principal," who is their boss.

And the 'principal' is complained by the 'school board'.

The "Board of Education" was instructed by the "Ministry of Education (at that time).

So, the Ministry of Education needed to show the public that it was 'concerned about the children's health.

In other words, the "torturers" are nowhere to be found.

-----

I also asked the following question,

"More than 40 years ago, people were forbidden to drink water, even in the middle of summer, because they were told that 'drinking water would make you batty' during club activities. Now, this is dismissed as complete nonsense, but why was this way of thinking considered common sense?"

I got a rather interesting answer (it's a long story, so I'll spare you).

Moreover, I asked,

"Is there any evidence that such erroneous thinking led to "heat stroke" or "heat death" in some children at that time?"

In addition, I push ChatGPT to the following,

"Could you please be more specific about the exhibit "General data exists on past heat stroke and related health issues."

I was introduced to the phrases in this literature.

-----

Finally, I asked,

'Is there anyone in a leadership position who is self-critical on this matter?'

and I got the answer

"We have not been able to identify leaders specifically reflecting on or self-criticizing their past practices or teaching methods."

That means,

"Not a single person (teacher, etc.) who led club activities without giving them water to drink in the middle of summer has ever criticized themselves or apologized for doing so."

-----

All I can say on the matter is,

"I was right when I drank plenty of water during club activities, calling it 'gargling.'
