Coffee & Tea Festival 2008
By Gayle E. Santana
"...There was even coffee art—no
not in your cup, but paintings by Theresa Kasun, an artist whose
designs have been featured on products such as oven mitts, kitchen
towels and the like in Bed Bath and Beyond as well as Linens
& Things. The paintings of coffee and tea cups along with
delicious desserts looked good enough to eat."

"...More recently (March. 2008)
my colleague, Dr. Marcella Bakur Weiner, published a book for
young children, “Junkfood Bear”— with beautiful
illustrations by Theresa Kasun that describes a more realistic
situation that confronts children with poor nutritional obsessions—-their
preference for junk food over healthy choices. It also shows
how inspiration from friends can sometimes be the change agent.
In the story Junkfood Bear consumes junk food non-stop—mostly
sugary and fatty foods—and thinks it’s “cool.”
His regimen has predictable results—Junk food Bear is tired
and listless most of the time with little interest in anything
but eating more junk food. A number of friends pass his window
and try to persuade him to join them in outdoor fun, but he
has little interest. Finally he’s enticed by a bear friend
with a two- seater bicycle. But Junkfood Bear’s weight
and his distraction from sucking on a lollypop lead to a crash.
From that fall —fortunately no serious injuries—he
has an epiphany. And when he’s invited to a picnic of healthy
foods by his bear friends he discovers the value of good nutrition."
