It’s a core question, as you might want to cultivate that for your kids.

Even when, on the outside, it looks like a 180-degree turn. The core still turns around the same thing. I see this happen in feeding so often. And I know, because I did it too.

That phrase clearly left a mark, and I’m still unsure if that's because I’m passionate about what drives human motivation, or because it was written so clearly, so real, so rough.

What does this have to do with nutrition, Sofie? Let me get straight to the point. I think many of us have done real, meaningful work around food and bodies. At least on the outside, as we still might feel uncomfortable about our bodies on the inside. Many parents can now spot harmful comments about bodies - and not just notice and question them, but also stop them from infiltrating our kids by speaking up and setting boundaries around how we talk about bodies. This is hard work - and I encourage everyone to do it.

It was about the link between prenatal exposure to specific flavors and facial expressions at age three. The study did not measure the amounts of veggies eaten – it was just about smell.
