Dr. Chheda – Yes, as a pediatrician, I ask, “Does your child eat vegetables?” You know, when you’re 6, you might say, “I don’t eat broccoli. I don’t like it.” And as a parent, you say, “You know, it’s really a challenge to get them to eat their vegetables.” The day-to-day struggle, everything that needs to get done, where are your priorities? But as a pediatrician, I’m really thinking about the long term. You know, does your child have chronic constipation because they’re not getting enough fiber in their diet? At the age of 35, will your child have a heart attack because instead of eating all that fiber, they ended up eating a lot of trans fat? At the age of 45, is your child going to be at risk for colon cancer because he didn’t have enough fiber in his diet? So I’m really thinking about the endgame and what pathways your child needs to take. So yes, I’m always gonna ask about vegetables. And everything else that I ask about, I’m always thinking about the long term, the endgame. A 10-year-old comes in and says no, I understand that. You know, to stay as healthy as possible, it’s important to consider these long-term effects. Transcriptions from AI and may not be 100% accurate
