Sammanfattning
The "Food Revolution. Vital Changes Among Drug Addicts and Criminals",
was a project over nearly two years carried out by X-cons, an association
of ex-convicts, starting in February 2011. The aim was to improve members´
health through nutritious lunches in combination with improved knowledge of
the impact of diet on health. The participants were all former criminals. One
to three members prepared lunch daily to 25 to 30 people staying in the localities
of X-cons. All were provided with information in how to improve their
eating habits and how to make more nutritious lunches. The follow-up was
done through interviews, surveys and nutritional analyzes of the meals. The
participants´ knowledge about the importance of diet for the health improved.
A year after the start a majority experienced better health and improved
ability to manage aggression. Certain symptoms of diseases decreased or
disappeared among some of them.
