It’s an interesting idea. Theoretically, you could obtain the grade point averages of the students in your sample, and you could have the students keep a food journal for a specific period of time, to see how many servings of fruit they eat.

However, students could fib about how much fruit they eat, and this would invalidate your study.

A different approach would be to see how much fruit students consume at two different schools (from the cafeteria or from vending machines) and then compare the cumulative grade point averages of the two schools. It would probably be easier to obtain reliable statistics.

You might have better luck correlating the GPA between students who eat a balanced diet and those who don’t. But be careful, all other factors need to be equal for it to have any relevance.

Example: Same age, habits, gender, food types, eating frequencies, etc.

Hope this helps…
