- Bio for Dr. Alan Greene – Father, Author, and Renowned Pediatrician A father of four, Alan Greene, MD. FAAP, has devoted himself to answering parents’ questions about their children’s health — combining science, practical wisdom, empathy, and a deep respect for parents, children, and the environment. Dr. Greene is the best-selling author of Raising Baby Green, winner of the Nautilus Gold Medal for Best Parenting Book of the Year, and From First Kicks to First Steps. In 1995, he launched DrGreene.com, cited by the AMA as the “pioneer physician Web site” on the Internet. He has received the distinction of being one of “America’s Top Doctors” for the past six years and was named the Children’s Health Hero of the Internet by Intel. Dr. Greene is a graduate of Princeton University and the University of California at San Francisco. He entered primary care pediatrics in 1993, and is currently a clinical professor of pediatrics at Stanford University School of Medicine, attending pediatrician at Packard Children’s Hospital, and a senior fellow at the University of California San Francisco Center for the Health Professions. In addition, he is the Chief of Future Health for A.D.A.M. a leading publisher of interactive health information. He is the President of the Society for Participatory Medicine on the Board of Directors for Healthy Child Healthy World, The Center for Information Therapy, and The Organic Center. Dr. Greene’s interest in nutrition started before medical school, where he took courses from Marion Nestle. In 1996 his interest in nutrition and its role in health and healing became very personal when his family was faced with a life-threatening illness. Since then he’s been on a mission to find the secrets hidden in our food – good and bad – and to provide information to anyone willing to listen so they can make informed choices about the food they eat. Dr. Greene appears frequently on TV, radio, websites, and in newspapers and magazines around the world, including The Today Show, Good Morning America, Fox and Friends, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, Parenting, Child, American Baby, Baby Talk, and the Readers’ Digest. In addition to being a true “foodie” (he does love good food!) he enjoys thinking about challenging ideas, being surrounded by nature, and he wears green socks.

Human babies also learn by imprinting, though ours is more complex, more forgiving, and occurs during a longer critical window. In particular human babies imprint on food. This is a highly adaptive mechanism -- but in the second half of the twentieth century we have unwittingly imprinted our children on the wrong tastes and textures. They will chase after junk food and kids meals, and ignore a delicious, ripe peach packed with nutrients their bodies crave.

Usually, this moving magnet is the gosling’s mother. Lorenz showed, however, that if HE were the first mover that a gosling saw, it would be imprinted on Lorenz and follow him about, refusing to follow a goose. They could even imprint on toy trains, and ignore other geese, even their own mother. Later, as adults, they would even choose toy trains for their life partners (which didn't work out well for the geese -- or the trains). Lorenz won the Nobel Prize for this work in 1973.

I want to start with an important story in Feeding Baby Green. In the second half of the last century, Konrad Lorenz made his mark by studying a critical window in the imprinting in geese. He learned that there is a sensitive period early in life when key exposures have lasting influence in animals. He described how newly hatched goslings are programmed to follow the first moving objects they see. They quickly become imprinted on this object and will move their little feet fast to keep up with it. This is highly adaptive. Most of the time.
