It presents guidelines on how to eat healthy in a fun way, i.e., eating clean, eating organic so you don't have scrambled-up brains, eating foods that came from the ground versus from a bag, avoiding GMOs, pesticides, chemicals, and junk food in general.?Author Dr. J. Renae Norton says, What my research was showing me was that the American food supply is polluted and that many of those suffering from disordered eating, actually suffer from food addictions that are the result of these pollutants. I found an abundance of data available on the role that food additives play in damaging the biological systems that regulate weight. Specifically, the American food supply is polluted by: ? Antibiotics? Artificial growth hormones? High fructose corn syrup? Artificial dyes (made from coal tar and petrochemicals)? Artificial sweeteners derived from chemicals? Synthetically created chemical pesticide and fertilizers? Genetically engineered proteins and ingredients? Sewage sludge? IrradiationThese substances have been shown to be carcinogenic, neurotoxic, obesogenic and addictive, especially for children, whose brains are still developing. As a result, the U.S. is among the top ten fastest countries in the world with the distinction of being number one for having the fattest children. The impact on the health of our nation has already been catastrophic and will get much worse if we do not do something to protect our children. Indeed, U.S. children today will be the first generation in decades to have a shorter life expectancy than that of their parents. The Maji & Mongo book series is an attempt at fighting back, by engaging children and their parents in an entertaining and endearing read that puts across the importance of getting outdoors and eating clean
