Violent crime is down overall, as are shootings. The problem we have is that our gun violence is way out of whack compared to other developed nations. We can isolate for factors such as diet, drugs, video games, movies, etc. We can also isolate for gun regulations.

So we've actually done a decent job overall. Some of this goes with development. Some is better policing. A lot is better regulations. The thing is we can do much, much better. There's no way we should have the gap in shootings relative to other developed countries.

The fact that violent crime as a whole is down would argue against your super food theory. We just aren't doing as good a job on this one particular issue as other countries.
