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.

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.

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.

This is book is excellent! If parents let their children read this book so many health problems could be prevented. Knowledge is power! Teach your children early! This book does it.

If you are really looking into getting healthy this is a simple book for all ages. Absolutely great for kids with the Health Guardians potrayed as super heroes. My kids love it and they love their raw vegan food too.
This book should be rated 10 stars and the author should create an animated movie about it.

Although I believe many Americans eat entirely too much junk food, this book took me by surprise. Does the author really believe that all health ailments are caused by mucus, and that this evil mucus comes from eating anything other than raw vegetation? This sounds like something from the Dark Ages, not the end of the 20th century!

Now let's assume for a minute that I agree with the dietary concepts of the book. Although this "story" is loaded with colorful illustrations (which is ordinarilly wonderful) it's filled with pictures of scary-looking monsters (even the good guys are scary looking). Not something I would want to read repetitively to a young child. I am also disturbed by the many pictures of overweight people, with the implied message that they are inferior.

I bought this book to resell and make a profit, but after examining it, it's going in the trash.

One of the 7 Principles to Staying Positive is "Your Health is Your Wealth". This easy to comprehend book is a benefit for both children and adults. All three of my triplet sons absolutely LOVE this book. One of them has taken it to school for two weeks straight. They know all of the charachters from Glassman to the Meat Monster to the Seafood Gladiator. On the flip side, it has properly informed me of how to eat and what eating is all about. I thought that I was feeding my sons with the healthiest diet possible. As a family, we are now working on eating for Energy, not for taste.
