""Aboriginal children were deliberately starved in the 1940s and
'50s by government researchers in the name of science. Milk rations were halved
for years at residential schools across the country. Essential vitamins were
kept from people who needed them. Dental services were withheld because gum
health was a measuring tool for scientists and dental care would distort
research. For over a decade, aboriginal children and adults were unknowingly
subjected to nutritional experiments by Canadian government bureaucrats."" (thanks Amir)
