Dr. Alok Kanojia

I literally, I just gave a talk to middle schoolers and high schoolers where I was like, you know, right now you guys are living this way.

What happens in three years when y'all are out on your own?

Like, are you going to be able to control it?

And they're terrified.

I would not say that's the greatest thing that you can do.

I think the greatest thing that you could do is have them be aware of the impact of food on their body.

No, no, I mean, so like, I mean, I'm not, I think we're getting maybe a bit lost in the details here, but like, you know, one of my kids has constipation.

And so just showing her the link

Yeah.

Right.

So like, what did you eat today?

What did you eat today?

And asking her, okay, like, what do you think your poop is going to be like tomorrow?

Correct.

Yes.

Right.

And, and even if you don't like this thing, I think the most important, the greatest gift, I believe that we can give our kids is the gift of awareness.

It's not even teaching.

It's not even modeling.

The simple act of observation.
