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.
