New Book Makes Healthy Eating Fun
Sam-I-Am always wants dessert first: for breakfast, lunch and dinner – but who doesn’t? Recognizing the problem with obesity in Pittsburgh, registered dietitian and devoted mother Christine Weber has been working with the Dr. Seuss Foundation on a new book entitled, “What the F*ck is This Sh*t?!” The new full-color illustrated book shows young Yinzers who gorge themselves on junk food that eating balanced, colorful meals can be fun too! On page 4 of the book, mommy and daddy make a deal with Sam: He can eat a treat as long as he also eats a fruit or vegetable with his meal. Eventually Sam learns to like healthy food and loses over 250 pounds at the climactic ending of the story. Although it seems like common sense to most people, the book caters to the unintelligent youth of the Steel City. In order to get them to open the book, Weber insisted that the publisher slap a Pittsburgh Steelers logo on the cover. Whether or not kids will actually read it and take heed remains to be seen. Young Yinzers and their parents could surely benefit from this educational and fun story, which is available at local bookstores now for $19.99.
