Who We Are
Natural Justice is a UK charity based in Oxford that is
working to develop a fundamentally new approach to violent and
anti-social behaviour. Natural Justice has overseen extensive
research in the past twenty years to understand the role nutrition may
play in shaping social behaviour both in the community and in closed
conditions. The underlying thesis is simple: the brain needs to be
nourished like all other parts of the body, and it is vital to consider
the nutritional needs of the brain as a key factor in governing
behaviour. We believe that there is insufficient emphasis of the
brain’s nutritional needs in generally accepted standards of dietary
adequacy.
In addition to the research conducted under the auspices of Natural Justice, we believe it is our job to help convey the message that derives from this research to governmental and non-governmental bodies at all levels and to the public.

New report
The Associate Parliamentary Food and Health Forum launched a groundbreaking report on diet, mental health and behaviour on 30 January 2008. Natural Justice was gratified to hear the inquiry’s Chairman, Lord Rea, comment at the launch that the inquiry was inspired by the work of Natural Justice. In the report, the Parliamentarians emphasise that we should consider the impact of what we eat on our mental health, as well as our physical health. In particular the inquiry report looks at the evidence that diet influences the behaviour and performance of school children, the behaviour of offenders and people suffering from depression. More detailed information about the year-long inquiry is available on the Forum’s website at: http://www.fhf.org.uk/inquiry and a press release summarizing the key recommendations can be downloaded here.
