- 8:31How to get kids comfortable with nutritious eating | Jaya Sarin Pradhan | TEDxHarvard SquareWhat if the key to healthier eating wasn’t found in textbooks, policy papers, or decades of nutrition research but in the curiosity, creativity, and honesty of children? In this talk, we explore how kids approach food, health, and wellbeing differently from adults, and what we can learn from their fresh perspective. From unfiltered preferences to intuitive habits, children reveal insights about flavor, portion, and balance that adults often overcomplicate. By listening to their ideas and observing their natural behaviors, we can rethink nutrition strategies, design better public health interventions, and spark a cultural shift toward joyful, sustainable eating for all ages. Dr. Jaya Sarin Pradhan is a pathologist who bridges the worlds of education, health, and prevention, teaching pathophysiology to future doctors at CUIMC, while championing nutrition, cancer prevention, and oral health through hands-on screenings within school-based health initiatives.
