What did Dr. Beaumont find about food digestion in his experiments?
Dr. Beaumont found that food digests faster in the stomach than outside, and that the stomach churns food to digest it. He also discovered that food does not digest properly when a person is sad, and that the stomach's juice is acidic.
According to Dr. Aparna's observations, describe Rashmi and Kailash's physical appearance, eating habits, and health conditions.
Rashmi, aged 5, looks younger than her age, has thin arms and legs, a pot belly, often falls sick, and lacks strength. She eats little food. Kailash, aged 7, appears older than his age, has a fat and flabby body, pain in his legs, and is inactive. He dislikes home-cooked food and prefers chips, burger, pizzas, and soft drinks.
Why is proper food emphasized as the solution to Rashmi and Kailash's health problems?
Dr. Aparna prescribed proper food as the treatment for Rashmi and Kailash because both children were facing health issues due to inadequate or unhealthy eating habits.
What type of experiments did Dr. Beaumont perform to understand the secrets of the stomach's digestion process?
Dr. Beaumont performed experiments such as taking out digestive juices from the stomach and observing their effect on pieces of food in a glass. He compared the digestion speed in the glass with that in Martin's stomach after giving him the same food.
Discuss the significance of proper food availability as a fundamental right for children.

The story in the chapter emphasizes that about half of the children in the country do not receive enough food, leading to weakness and poor health. It stresses the importance of adequate nutrition for children's well-being.
