Joint Venture

Theresa Kasun was sent to me and I have been enthralled. A brilliant illustrator, a delightful co-partner in my latest venture, Junkfood Bear. It has been a most exciting experience for me which I would like to share with you. Our book Junkfood Bear talks to obesity, one of the most pervasive problems in our society today. Between the two of us, in a most illuminating way we are showing people and families how they can help their children eat well. In so doing the family learns how to work as a more productive system. At the same time, eating healthy makes for a longer life without illness. This book and my co-authorship has taught me a great deal. We offer this to you as not only a learning experience but as family fun. Children will learn from it, but adults, working with them, will do the same. The family is, after all the root of our society. To make any changes we must begin with who we are, our own individual selves. We offer this book to you as a prelude to that very change, with joy and with warmth to all of you. We look forward to hearing from you and getting to know you. Here's to it!

Welcome to Junkfood Bear!

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.
