Especially when you consider a child growing up in poverty in the U.S. is doing so on a household income four times that of a poor child in the country's ahead of it makes the study comedy and severly biased.
This was like the kid in my science 5th grade class who tried to prove pollution is bad for fish by pouring a half bottle of draino powder into a gold fish bowl.
