Why Popeye eats spinach and Wimpy eats hamburgers, November 10, 2002
This review is from: The Children's Health Food Book (Hardcover)
This educational book utilizes a comic-book format to explain which food is nourishing and healthful. And which is worthless and damaging. Glass Man, whose transparent body allows us to see when he has eaten the right or wrong foods, takes us on the nutritional journey. Along the way we will meet the deadly Mucus Gang, whose members are on the Most Wanted List for making people weak and sick. These are the repulsive Meat Monster, Sugar Demon, Dairy Goon, Starch Creature, and their grotesque leader, the Mucus Destroyer. We'll see the unhealthy results from a diet of this poison: a clogged system, premature aging, failing organs, disease. Who can protect us? The Health Guardians! These are the heroes known as Fruitarian Fighter, Grain Crusader, Vegetarian Warrior, and Seafood Gladiator. Their live, wholesome foods can knock the Mucus Gang out of our bodies. This is a unique book, as informative for adults as it is for children. The colorful cartoons and humorous text contain sound principles of nutrition. Kids will get a kick out of the yucky junkfood monsters and the stalwart healthfood supermen. I wish at least one of the latter could have been portrayed as a superwoman. But that's a minor, ahem, "beef" over a highly recommended vegan book.

First true book about food for kids, December 16, 2002
This review is from: The Children's Health Food Book (Hardcover)
This book is awesome for children and adults. I gave this book to a child once and he took it to school. Kids were lining up just to see the book. No more Standard American Diet Pyramid brainwashing. This book is one of a kind. And it will be hard to find soon. Pictures are amazing. Text is easy and true to the core. It will make you change your food habits. Even if it's just for a day or 2. Vegan or meat eater you will LOVE it. America is waking up to health. ...
And just an update: the kid I gave the book to - changed his diet and now is working on his family members.

Great Message!, July 31, 2000
This review is from: The Children's Health Food Book (Hardcover)
This book was given to my children as a gift after my family turned vegan. The book has a great message and presents it in a very non-threatening easy to understand way! I highly recommend anyone reading it to a little one to put them on the right path for healthy living.
