The Sugar Monster A Book About a Play on Food Education

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.

'Stevie Weavie,' also known as Stephen Arnold Taylor, has authored this book as a result of his struggles from early childhood with obesity and morbid obesity. The Sugar Monster story reflects Stevie's opinions and strong affirmation of how food should be viewed. The only way to address this epidemic is to educate children in their formative years on the subject. The Sugar Monster does this in entertaining fashion.

Enjoy your journey of reading and absorbing the message of the Sugar Monster and his friends.
