Fishy business

Rather marvellous expose by Ben Goldacre on Durham County Council's idiotic plan to feed some children fish oil pills and see if they get brainer.
It's not so much the plan but the completely crap way they behaved when people raised sensible criticisms of it.
OK - the using children to test nonsense is pretty poor behaviour too.
Must be something about institutions as they're doing the same in prisons and it seems similarly pointless.
