The Sugar Monster

A quirky story about a slightly overbearing but ultimately lovable "Sugar Monster" and his friends, Salt and Fat, who are taken to task by an All Knowing Nutrient Queen who sends her Fruits and Veggies to the Rescue! This book addresses one of the most important health challenges faced by people worldwide - obesity. The book underscores the idea of moderation and a balanced diet. For example, candy, made up mostly of sugar, tastes great, but should be eaten in small amounts and balanced with healthy options like fruits and vegetables. This latter category is more nutritional and beneficial, and scientifically proven to help people live longer and healthier lives. Children, like those in the book, need to be informed of power of great food choices.
