Obese children become obese adults. Obesity rates have
doubled in the last twenty years. Why? Not just because
our appetites drive us but because our psyches do in search
of both pleasure and relief from inner/outer stress. Not
of much help is the fact that fattening food has never
been so cheap and easy to come by along with seductive
marketing. Even bears eat junk food or so you will think
after reading this book with your child.
Beautifully illustrated, eye-catching in
its appeal to both parents/teachers and children alike,
you will join with junkfood bear in his struggle. Lusting
after food, pushing life aside to fulfill his passion,
he finally crashes, then watches, entranced and horrified
,as all the junkfood flies out of his belly and dances
wildly in the air Dazed, numbed, he is rescued by his
caring friends, and makes the change. Transformed, he
now recognizes that a life lived only for yourself is
not the life he wants to live. No longer lonely, a slave
to his passion for food, he becomes part of his community.
Taking joy in his eating healthy, he finds pleasure in
having accepted and come to love his new inner/outer truebear
self.
