I'd like to see a study similar to this one, but where the foods in the Western diet, while still being "junky," are organic and made without flavor enhancers and food dyes. I've read tons of articles linking those two things to ADHD and other behavior issues in children, and I think it would be interesting to see if it's the types of foods themselves that are the issue or the chemicals that are usually put into those types of foods.
