it does not seem ironic that the menu
child is made up of all these
food like pizza burger chips
nuggets everything in that photo
food that we as adults
we always avoid because we are on a diet
or the doctor does not take it off because we’re
sick of one thing or the other
then in other words we are
creating a love towards those foods
from little ones so that the child grows
teen tell you no you can not
eat that you’re fat, that’s why you’re
tired so you do not pay attention or it will be
that we as adults never got to
make this connection between food and
behavior
in the last 40 years the number of
Obese children in the world has
multiplied by 10 the percentages of
attention deficit and type 2 diabetes
is growing unusually in the
whole world we would be the first
generation that will live sicker and
shorter than his parents
whole life expectancy was
lengthened by technology
discoveries is doing is
being affected today by the
chronic diseases
it will be that this has something to do with
our feeding
Yes oh yes it’s about time
we draw that connection between
food and pain disease
head migraines insomnia depressions and
a thousand other things more diseases
Chronicles caused by food is
more cause is tired of more deaths
that cigarette alcohol accidents
of transit and according to the organization of
the united nations of agriculture
feeding
Obesity is killing more people
that violence crime and
drug trafficking in latin america and the
Caribbean
so yes, if we think about it clearly
our food has a lot that
see with our joy
our happiness that of us and that of
our whole family
and I also know that there may be people
who think or even tell me today she is
super bored must be super bored no
eat this but it is like this other
green coast you kill whatever but let me
ask her if I find them boring
oh my dear, I took off two years
it seems boring
if he is full of energy and vitality
precisely to disassemble this
thinking that bored me
lover of cooking and natural food
daily by my social networks is
to show and eat healthy and natural
it’s not boring it’s not difficult to proof
you and me that I’m not a professional chef
but every day I learn putting love
putting creativity and I learn in my
I cook alone then it’s not boring
it’s not hard can be super delicious
and you can even eat all the
little things that we saw right now
hamburger the pizza all that but done
with best ingredients ingredients
minimally processed quality in its
been more natural while with the
heart because believe me there are always
a better version for my whole family
futuremark is witness is proudly
today I can say that not only do I have
responsibility to my husband
to my son and my two puppies but to
this future community delicacy that is
growing up with me a little bit every day
more with this that I do with so much love and
Pawn every day
this is a picture of a group of moms
that is called power moms these are some
moms who started feeding
your children with me gave me that
privilege and right now children for the
school are super healthy have not been
sick are very happy children
and I really feel too
proud that it is up to my community
[Music]
for those who stayed in the
alarming figures of the future in these
next nominations do not worry the
solution is in our hands and we already
I will show how easy it can be
first I will tell you a little more about
me to contextualize the wants being
I was always very healthy because
one side on the one hand my dad instills in us
the importance of sport and on the other
side my mom took care whenever I did not
you’re lunchboxes were made at home
there was never any chips or gas or
our lunch box or in our house
thinking about it right now I can see that from
soon on what could have failed
at the time it was in forgetting a little
from the fat skinny word diet
to go up to download something very common in
Latin America like for example power
eat ice cream and do not feel guilty
to make my story short I got ahead
at the moment when life surprised me
with a baby was where I had the
inspiration and I lit the bulb
to throw myself as a good
passionate and fighter of my ideas to
write and launch independently
my book
It was crazy I learned a lot from that
I’m seeing the fruits of that hour
I can also say that from that
moment was that I started creating the
relationship he has for food to me
favorite
who has been my subject of study
[Music]
It is worth clarifying that pregnancy does not
it’s time to let ourselves be carried away by
those famous cravings do not on the contrary
is when you better have to eat because
of that will depend on the immune system of
your child prone to allergies a thousand other
diseases start from nutrition
prenatal
that’s how I had this child
[Music]
I was able to breastfeed me
love to play scream
play and eat from very little but
how I did it
since we started the
complementary feeding is what
we did as an experience we started
with fruits with vegetables things food
real natural nothing packaged nor
coming from a little jar with a thousand
added ingredients such as for example
addictive sugars hydrogenated fats
destroying these ingredients that
are present in products that
we consume daily from
companies to which we entrust our
health and nutrition
it will be that we are so naive that
we think that our government is going to
regulate our food better because
they want the best for us
The sad reality is that this is not the case
so take letters in the matter of your
ingredients
Choose your products better and do not wear suits
whole
touch smell feel hot cold textures
sweet salty all these things were what
that we mentioned to him
experience never forcing but
offering and respecting his skill
natural with which children are born
intuitively eat children are born with
this but as an adult we damage by
why do we give it a spoonful after
spoonful after spoonful of food not
let’s apply open the mouth the little plane
that comes the Chinese or until you do not
you eat everything does not stop you from the table or worse
I still leave the plate clean, not because of
opposite as I told you right now
has to come from love from the
respect by letting him eat until when
they are satisfied they have the
ability to do it and do not worry
that they are not going to die of hunger
so what happened to the children’s menu
because the child man does not exist what
the children as it should be very similar
what we eat your plate
It should have been almost the same as our
dish but that’s where we enter
evaluate what it takes to your plate
let’s do an exercise
I would ask the neighbor to the person
which has on the side which was the last
vegetable or fruit that was eaten the day of
today
[Music]
and what
and ready
they knew that according to the survey the
nutritional situation in colombia
one in three Colombians among the 5
and 64 years does not eat fruit daily and 5
is every 7 Colombians do not consume
vegetables
this brings us to a sad figure of 70
percent of the Colombian population
that does not consume fruits or vegetables
daily
also know that 75 percent of
what children learn is seeing us and
only 25 is because of what we
we say
That’s where I’ll tell you again what
is what I told you right now the solution
is in our hands we are the
example and from us will depend the
future of our next generations
so let’s create them and
fix our own relationship with
the food how are we going to do it very
simple
think that the food is that gasoline and
of its quality depends that also
this machine works the food never never
it is a prize or is it punishment do not apply the
if you eat broccoli give you ice cream or
if you behave well I give you cake and eye
adults with today I was super good
this meeting I deserve a hamburger
double triple soda pop and ice cream
or adults also with using food
to distract the children or so that
stop crying because we are tired
and it’s going to explode the head is there
when this becomes a problem
psychological then do not ask
of that adult after he eats
looking for comfort
and if we go for these foods and not
for these others is because that is so
help you run faster to beat you
your friend in that game that you like so much
to answer all the questions of the
teacher never skinny never fat never
diet fast strong fast agile happy
[Music]
let’s connect and connect them to
them with food from where
this where does the other thing come from
maticas sow farms and farms
twigs and let’s go together we ‘ll be
to the supermarket to markets we are going to
cooking as a family and I know that time
It is one of the three most common things
because people do not cook as a family
but let’s do it we put once a
week not need much you
I wholeheartedly advise that if you
you have help and you are not in charge of the
kitchen in your house monitors that your
food takes that responsibility from you
health closely
there we are growing many matica
do not believe in you
which is much more likely than a
child or even an adult who normally
I would not eat things for its taste its texture
his appearance is much more
willing to test if he is part of the
process to do it like for example in
this photo my baby jaime I miss the lemon
to that salad and this salad had
many things that he normally did not eat
many things are left many vegetables
raw and it’s simply the simple fact
he helped me throw made lemon
he will taste it and eat it
they do not find it very interesting
I really moved a lot
just think about it and do not worry about it
they have to all be experts I do not
I am not all not all have to cook
but if we can do it a plan of a
once a week be all join all
the family
not all cook but they can be there and
pass on this love and that good energy to
the food what does the
food so rich in flavor and nutrition
for the body and for the soul the food
It is the best way to show love
so let’s get super creative with
they are going to make him some pancakes in
christmas tree let’s play with
the brokers as if they were a forest
let’s give them a break from the
technology they need it to screams
[Music]
you need to connect with your body and
your food we are going to give to our
body what you need to be able to be
best mom dad siblings kids
student teachers leaders
we’re going to give you that premium gas that
our children need to play
grow up laughing be healthy and
just being able to be children
I invite you to change it yourself
us as a community as a school
as a city as a country as a world are the
I assure you that if we start from
our nearest circle soon this
domino effect will hit the big
industries forcing them to improve their
marketing products and tactics
this is a picture of my monthly classes
what do I do in my house in Miami because I
I feel the responsibility to impact the
world to my little circle around because
because I want to have moms who think
like me and my son can have more
little friends to play with
moms be like me and so we go adding
the voice in your nearest circle does not
they need nothing more
to finish I tell you this story
It’s been a couple of months since I went with my
son jaime we are in a little market at
outdoors as always running from a
side to side but we got to the side
where were the fruits and vegetables
accommodated in boxes and he started to
name them all then we come to the
part where the potatoes were
many different types of potatoes like
can see in the photo and all in the
named potatoes and I thought it was very
incredible because even for a
adult is not so obvious and it is also more
little boy then it may sound a little
but it was from that moment that I gave myself
account that my work as a mother that
it started from when I was a baby to treat it
like a little person
to offer to apply all these things
that I told them was worth it and
I feel like I’m seeing the fruits of
that hour and it’s worth clarifying that
is that the eat plant shades and
salads and weird things from the world but
If the truth attracts a little more
to try and I do not know if he will continue after
so when I grow up but it is in me
never stop offering him with love with
respect with patience and show him the
example with myself
and if I ask you right now what is the
best gift you can give your
children
that you who would answer me the best
gift that can give them
education is a very good answer
but let’s add a little more the
best gift you can give your
children is education to a good
feeding the best gift that you
can give their children is love for
have a very good health and how are we going to
do it by educating from the heart
thank you very much
[Applause]
