TY: HERE TO CHAT WITH US LIVE ABOUT THE CONNECTION BETWEEN GROWING YOUR OWN FOOD AND LONG-TERM WELLNESS, ISR. D SAMUEL SIEGEL. DR., THANK YOU FOR JOINING US THIS MORNING. WE APPRECIATE IT. I GOT TO SEE THIS A LITTLE BIT FIRSTHAND. WE STARTED THOSE PLANTER BOXES WITH OUR DAUGHTERS ANDY BSECOND BURST — SECOND DAUGHTER SAID THESE ARE THE BEST STEP PCEIE EVER. WE COULD NOT GET HER TO EAT SNAP PEAS FROM THE STORE BUT THERE IS COMING THAT HAPPENS WHEN A KID DOES THEIR OWN, RIGHT DOCTOR? .DR: ABSOLUTELY. I THINK WHEN YOU GEIV A KID A BABY VEGETABLE PLANTS AND THEY GROW THAT PLANTS, THEY NURTURE IT AND AT THE END THEY ARE REWARDED WITH A BETTER TASTING NAPPY OR TOMATO — SNAP P OR TOMATO OR SQUASH. HOW CAN YOU NOT EXPECT THAT TO HAVE A PROFOUND EFFECT ON THE WAY THE EEYORE APPROACH FOOD? BRANDI: TALK SPECIFICS ABOUT WHAT THE FAMILIES LLWI LEARN OR WHAT THE KIDS WILL FIND OUT. DR.: THE EVENT IS THIS SATURDAY, MA Y 21 FMRO 10:00 A.M. TO 1:00 P.M. IN THE CLINIC PARKI LOT ON BRAUN START. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE OVER 1000 VEGETABLE PLANTS THAT WE ARE GIVING AWAY TOID KS. WE WILL HAVE SOIL THAT HAS BEEN DONATED BECAUSE A LOT OF OUR FAMILIES DO NOT HAVE HOMES THWI BACKYARDS’S WE WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO OF THEIR OWN PLANT WHETHER THEY JUST HAV AE BALCONY OFF AN APARTMENT OR LIVE IN A HOME. OUR PEDIATRICIANS WILL BE THERE DAN WE WILL HAVE NUTRITIONISTS BE THERE. EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE BILINGUAL, SPANISH AND ENGLISH. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE A TACO TRUCK RUN BY ONE OF THE MOMOF OUR FAMILIES. IT IS GOING TO BE A FUN EVENT. TY: WHY ARE YOU PASSIONATE ABOUT THE TOPIC WERE A TALKING ABOUT, GETTING KIDS TO EAT VEGETABLES? WHAT DO YOU SEE IN PRACTICE THAT LED YOU TO GET BEHIND THIS? DR. AWE KNOW THAT PEDIATRIC CHILDHOOD OBESY IS A REALLY SIGNIFICANT ISSUE THESE DAYS. MY COLLEAGUES AND I DO OUR BEST IN THE CLINIC. WE THE CLINIC. TALK TO KIDS AND FAMILIES ABTOU NUTRITION PREVIEW TELL THEM ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF EATING FRUITS ANVEGED TABLES AND EXERCISE BUT IT DOESOT N ALWAYS SEEM TO HAVE THE IMPACT WE WANT IT TO HAVE. I THINK WE FIGURED WHY NOT TRY A DIFFERENT APPROACH? WHY NOT SEE IF WE CAN GET KIDS TO KIND OF YOU THE FDOO SOURCE THEY PUT IN THEIR BODIES AS A LITTLE BIT OF A DIFFERENT PEPECTRSIVE. THIS ISSUE IS JUST TOO IMPORTANT NOT TO TRY EVERYTHING WE CAN TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. BRANDI: WE TALK A LOT ABOUT CHILDHOOD OBESITY AND THE NEED TO GROW THEIR OWN VEGETABLES AND THE BENEFITS OF THAT BUT WHAT DO YOU SAANY D DO FOR FAMILIES WHO MAY BE DO NOT HAVE A PLACE TO GROW THEIR OWN VEGETABLES AT HOME? DR.: THAT IS WHY THEE H 250 FIVE GALLON BARRELS AND POTTING SOIL ANDER FTILIZER AVAILABLE FOR THOSE FAMILIES AND CHILDREN THAT LIVE IN APARTMENTS OR DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO GROWING THEIR OWN VEGETABLES. THERE ARE ALSO A LOT OF COMMUNITY GARDENS THAT ARE SPREADING UP MORE EVERY DAY ALL OVER THE COUNTRY AND OUR COMMUNITY REHE IN CALIFORNIA. PE OPLE ARE NOT REALINGZI THE IMPORTANCE IN CONNECTING KIDSO T THEIFOR OD SOURCE. BUT FOR PEOPLE WHO DO NOT HAVE THAT, THERE ARE WAYS TO EACH FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. I KNOW TREHE IS A CONCEPTION THAT EATING HEALTHY IS EXPENSIVE BUT HAVING A VEGETAANRI HOUSE MYSELF, IT DOES TAKE A LITTLE TIME TO PREPEAREG VETABLES. MAYBE YOU WANT TO CUT VEGETABLES EVERY WEEK ON SUNDAY SO THEY ARE EASY TO GRAB OUT OF THE FRIDGE AND PUT THE TLEAB FOR DINNER. BUT IT IS WELL WORTH THE INVESTMENT AND TIME. TY: DR. SAMUEL SIGNAL — SAMUEL SIEGEL WITH DIGNITY HEALTH. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE INFORMATNIO ON THAT EVENT. IT GOES FROM 10:00 A.M.O T 1:00 P.M. O
