In the comic book-syle "Race Against Junk Food" (ages 4 to 9), the young Posse helps Tommy Thompson and his family kick the fast-food habit and tune in to the benefits of fruits and vegetables.

In "SNAK Posse" (for older kids), the Posse -- vegi-people Flash Carotene (carrot), Blush (tomato), Kernal (corn), Silk Stalk (broccoli) and Banana Bolt -- are adult superhereos who race against time to save the world's teens from evil.  SNAK is an acronym for Super Nutritionally Active Kids.

The Snak Posse comics are an excellent vehicle oringally designed to help kids want to eat healthy foods.  And -- they work!  If your kids are accustomed to scarfing down burgers and shakes...and don't realize there's much better foods to eat, and what the reasons are to eat them, this book is a great way to get them thinking.  Says one parent who bought the book hoping their little one would see some light in terms of better eating: "Never in my wildest dreams did I think my seven-year-old would really take it on for himself to eat healthy -- yet this is exactly what happened after reading your book several times!  As far as I am concerned, my husband and I owe you a big thank you!"

So, if you're a parent who is trying to teach your children why cookies and pudding do not make a wonderful meal, the SNAK Posse books can do it better than you can.  These books teach good nutrition through entertainment.   The "Race Against Junk Food" features a race through a wall of hamburgers.  You get the idea.  Lighten up and your kids just might reach for the broccoli.
