Maybe it's the lowest form of that, but that emergency fizzy drink.

Caroline has been chugging one of those because at the very least, I know she has some vitamin C and some micronutrient in her system when she leaves for school.

And our hypothesis is that, hey, if we can control a little bit more in the morning and a little bit in the evening, plus maybe a snack, the rest of it, you don't have any control over.

So let's control what we can control.

You know –

A lot of times we have a lot of conversations about when do we eat and how do we fuel?

And so we sort of have some, a simple rubric, like three hours out, just regular meal.

And you can relate to this.

You go to a swim meet, kid swims a 25.

She gets like a 1000 calorie Jamba juice or a donut.

You're like, dude, your child does not need to eat.

Like she ate breakfast.

But then on the other hand, we have kids who are playing and playing and playing and don't want to eat because they're nervous, don't have access.

In this situation, I'm like, have you met the Uncrustable?

This is a powerful tool where we can get some calories in you to fuel what you're doing.

And so on the other hand, we have to force kids to eat.

And there are body composition issues there and timing issues there.

And how can we think about fueling in a way that's parents don't go insane?

And you'll wake up talking about breakfast.

You will.
