At my son's school they have 3 meal breaks during the day. The new one from my schooling days is the 'Brain Food' break. After about 1 hour of school they break to eat a piece of fresh fruit or vegetable - to get their brains working for the day ahead.
It made me think, when I am sitting at my computer staring at the screen and no words are appearing, do I need a Brain Food break too?
Would a carrot, celery stick or banana really get the words to start flowing?
I guess I'll have to experiment. What gets my brain to work?
Have you found a food that just gets your brain to function?
I have a suspicion that while celery or an apple might be better for me, the comfort of chocolate might really be the trigger *wink*.

What a great concept! Do you know if your school has some sort of written material regarding the program, because I might suggest it to the principal?
Anyway, yep, you need some brain food to keep you going. Unfortunately I've resorted to chocolate, which only gives you a quick buzz. Maybe a plate of chopped fruit and vegies next to the computer is best?
P&C meeting this week so I'll ask.
Chocolate has certainly produced zero words for me this week, so maybe the plate of fresh produce will have more success next week.
Brain food sounds good when you're sitting at a computer with a blank screen, but I'd rather go the hot chips! Bummer for my bum.
Oh yeh Shayne lol. Chocolate seems to have had the same effect for me.
I've known of schools that do that. Good idea!
For me, the foods of choice are gummi bears, red frogs (is there a pattern here?) or nuts - currently the nut of choice brazil. A small bowl of them sit by me.
chocky is my brain food for sure. lol.
good luck with the pitch and cant wait to meet you at conf

Nicky - a bowl at my elbow would be deadly to my waist!
